In our constant search for the purest ingredients in the world, there are treasures that deserve to be rediscovered. Wild rice, despite its name, is actually the seed of an aquatic grass native to the cold-water lakes and rivers of North America.

Its flavor is unmistakable: rustic, deep, and with subtle notes of toasted nuts and wood. If you are looking to explore this profile at home, the Floating Leaf Ancestral Wild Rice Mix is the perfect place to start. The grains remain firm when bitten, offering a spectacular contrast when mixed with roasted mushrooms, crispy asparagus, or when serving as the main base of a comforting dish, full of clean nutrients directly from its lake origin.
