The key to crafting an exceptional wild rice dish is in the caliber of the kernels. From California's Fall River Valley, Trader Joe's Wild Rice thrives in the fertile clay soils, clean air and crisp waters that flow from Mt. Shasta. The rice grains are dark, slightly glossy, and uniform in length - all good signs of quality wild rice. We cooked up a batch and were rewarded with chewy bits of burst rice (a good thing!) that had a deep nutty and grassy flavor. They work closely with the growers to ensure consistent quality. A one pound makes between 16-22 servings.

Question:	Cooking instructions for this rice
Answer:	Sandhill Organic Wild Rice is grown in a rural area in Northeast California in which there is no pollution or where naturally occurring arsenic is a problem.
Question:	Where are these rice blends grown/sourced?? I don't want a product grown in China
Answer:	The precise answer to the question 'How long does white rice last?' depends to a large extent on storage conditions - when properly stored and kept free from contaminants, uncooked white rice has an indefinite shelf life. To maximize the shelf life of white rice, store in a cool dry area; after opening the package, place the uncooked white rice in a sealed airtight container or place original package in a resealable heavy-duty freezer bag.

Let it come to a boil; turn the heat down to low, put the lid on, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes. If you do not soak, follow the same steps, but let it simmer between 50-60 minutes. Drain any excess water. Fluff it with a fork. It should be soft and chewy. Once cooled, store it in the fridge in an airtight container.
