Wild rice

We are glad to tell you that wild rice offers about fifty percent more fiber and protein than other types of this grain. Such nutrient wealth puts wild rice in the same stage as quinoa. There is only one unpleasant quality wild rice can boast of - it's more expensive than many other whole grains. So it can take more time for preparation. Another side is its price, that doesn't make you happy. Anyway, it can be explained by the harvesting condition!
