Organic wild rice is typically harvested in the late summer and early fall months, primarily in the regions of North America, where it grows naturally in shallow freshwater marshes and along the shores of streams and lakes. The long, slender grains of wild rice are a rich brown to black in colour, with a nutty and earthy flavour profile.

The harvesting process involves hand-gathering the mature rice stalks by canoe or by hand, a tradition that has been passed down through generations by indigenous communities. Once harvested, the rice is then dried and threshed to remove the outer husk, revealing the edible grain inside. As a natural raw product, organic wild rice is a rich source of essential nutrients, including protein, fibre, and various B vitamins. It is also naturally gluten-free and low in fat, making it a healthy choice for a balanced diet. No additional nutrients or minerals are added to the raw product, as wild rice is already packed with essential nutrients in its natural state. The unique harvesting and processing methods, along with the natural composition of organic wild rice, contribute to its appeal as a wholesome and sustainable food choice for environmentally friendly options.

The organic nature of means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

You’ll receive your Organic Wild Rice in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
