Gibbs Wild Rice is 100% natural, organic wild rice harvested from rivers and lakes in Minnesota. Great addition to any meal, it is the perfect side dish with wild game.

• Wild rice may be easily prepared on the stovetop, in the microwave or in the oven.
• The more rice is washed before cooking, the milder the flavor.
• Always cover rice while cooking.
• For firmer, nutty texture, decrease cooking time five to ten minutes.
• For fluffier, tender rice, increase cooking time five to ten minutes.
• The addition of butter or margarine to cooked rice helps keep it firm.
• After cooking wild rice, drain off any excess water and return to heat for a minute or two to steam. Fluff with a fork to prevent burning.
• Substitute wild rice in most recipes that call for white or brown rice. Simply allow more time for precooking, or an additional one-half hour of cooking time for oven dishes.
• Slightly undercook rice that is to be cooked further as part of another recipe.
• Cooked wild rice will store in the refrigerator for a week. No taste is lost in refrigeration, but rather, it seems to actually enhance the flavor.
• Wild rice freezes well and will keep for six months when drained well and stored in an air-tight container. Cooking and freezing rice ahead of time allows you the convenience of having it ready for use in your favorite recipes.
• Uncooked wild rice will store indefinitely in a cool, dry place.
• Always wash rice thoroughly before cooking by placing it in a sieve or colander and placing under faucet until water runs clear.
• Wild Rice should be cooked until it puffs, or blossoms, and the inside, lighter portion of the grain can be seen. Overcooking may cause mushiness.
