Description
Our family harvests Wild Rice in the Minoomin-Giizis (Rice Moon) which lasts from late August through September. Native Wild Rice is known as Manoomin, or The Good Berry, in Ojibwe tradition and is a highly culturally significant food. This amazing plant plays a big role in the Ojibwe story of traveling to the place “where the food grows on water” and settling here in Minnesota. We are very proud of our Wild Rice and strive to create a quality finished product. We look forward to sharing it with you!Cooking Instructions: Add 1 cup of wild rice and 2 cups of water, or broth, to a pot and bring to a boil. Add 1 tsp. of salt (optional). Bring mixture to a boil, then lower heat to Low and add a lid. Let contents simmer on low for approximately 20 minutes, or until liquid is no longer visible in the pot. Stir the rice and replace the lid. Let rice sit for at least 5 minutes before serving. 1 Tbsp. of butter can be added just before serving (optional).
