Wild Rice

Though commonly referred to as a grain, this aquatic grass plant grows naturally only in several select areas of North America. From the Latin word ‘Zizania aquatica’ or ‘water grass’, wild rice is the only wild grass plant that produces a grain large enough to be used as food by people. The wild rice grain itself has a protein content higher that white rice, corn, or even wheat. It is a somewhat rare foodstuff and is considered a delicacy around the world.
