The non-GMO promise adds an extra layer of reassurance about the quality and purity of the product. Each grain is long, unbroken, and has a beautiful natural variance in color, indicating minimal processing. **Flavor Profile:** The wild rice has a unique, nutty flavor that is more pronounced than traditional white or brown rice.

I like this rice a lot. Rinse it before cooking. **Q: Can it be stored in the freezer? How long?** A: I have always stored wild rice in the freezer, then let it thaw a bit before I sauté and bake it. **Q: Is it sprouted?** A: No, the rice is not sprouted. It is ready to cook in the conventional manner. I mix it with rice and whole-grain wheat for a multi-grain dish. **Q: Why does this look more like black rice instead of a wild rice with different colors?** A: It is, in fact, plain old wild rice. I grant you the artwork on the packaging seems quite different from the actual rice that is clearly seen in the transparent area of the pak.

I love texture, and this rice brings that, and I don't mean crunchy, uncer-cooked rice. Great chew! Nutty flavor as promised in the description. I purchased this rice to support my fiber, longer-burning carb, and protein goals for nutrition, and this rice delivers on all of that, as well as adding some fun color to any dish! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Low-glycemic and very flavorful *by R***2 on November 11, 2025* This rice is very tasty! I’ve been trying to eat healthier and read that wild rice had a low glycemic index compared to standard rice. I’ve never had straight wild rice before, so I got a small bag to try. After a chat with a popular AI, it gave me a recipe to try and recommended that I rinse and soak it for 30-60 mins before cooking. I prepared the pre-soaked rice in chicken broth with sautéed onion and garlic, Italian seasoning, and roasted sliced almonds, using a Zojirushi rice cooker. It took 1h 30m to cook in the rice maker, but you could cut this down to 30 mins using an Instant Pot. It does take longer to cook than standard rice, but it’s easy enough to fit into your weekly food prep. Using the rice maker this rice kept its dark color and came out slightly firm/al denté, which I prefer. (Cooking in more liquid would make it softer.) This recipe gave it a lot of flavor and I’d definitely recommend it. I’ll be getting a bigger bag and incorporating this into my meals regularly. ## Frequently Bought Together - 100% All Natural NON-GMO Minnesota Wild Rice 5lbs - Thousand Lakes Minnesota Grown Wild Rice - Bulk - 5 pounds | 100% All Natural - RiceSelect Royal Blend, Blend Of Texmati White, Brown, Red, And Wild Rice, Premium Gluten Free Rice, Non-GMO, 21 Ounce Jar --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/400471402-100-all-natural-non-gmo-minnesota-wild-rice-5lbs](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/400471402-100-all-natural-non-gmo-minnesota-wild-rice-5lbs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
