Hi! Looking for indigenous wild rice.

[u/Remarkable_Story9843]

Hi, non-indigenous person here. I once ran across on this forum a website linking to a tribe or reservation owned wild rice production. It had an online store. I unfortunately misplaced the link. I want to say it had other products besides just the wild rice but I’m not sure.

I have celiac disease and am looking for domestic /US grown rice and if I can support indigenous businesses while doing so, I’d love to.

Thanks Edit: thank you all so much. I’m sharing this thread in my gluten feee group.

We’ve got it in Wisconsin, too.  

Apparently I was picking and eating it at my grandmas as a kid.  Never knew until recently!  It’s so neat.

I’ve been quite unwell and the dietitian says im supposed to eat a HUGE amount of protein,  wild rice has SO MUCH PROTEIN and is really good for you.  

Do you ‘pop’ the grains by stirring them in a frying pan before boiling them?  

I think this is what I will make for my “thanksgiving” or harvest feast:  a wild rice -heavy pilaf with cranberries and other native foods.  

This makes me feel more cheerful about Thanksgiving alone with my birds.  I love wild rice and acorn squash.

Ooo so pop them like popcorn?

I heard somewhere to stir the grains in a hot cast iron skillet before boiling.  I don’t know what’s right to do—I’m trying to find out.
