The Story of California Wild Rice
Just as with so many other California “natives”, Wild Rice is an immigrant to the Golden State – a transplant from elsewhere that has found a fertile home and prospers under the warm California sun. Although California wild rice is a direct descendent of the naturally occurring wild rice which still grows in a truly wild state in the lakes and rivers of the Great Lakes region of the US and Canada, here, in California, it has been “tamed”, and only grows in a cultivated state – in partnership with California wild rice farmers who care for this precious grain. California embraced this ancient grain and went Wild with it, as only California can: today California is the top wild rice producer in the world.
Wild Rice is approved and endorsed by The Whole Grains Council.
