How do I cook Moose Lake Wild Rice for best texture?

Cooking wild rice takes a little longer than white rice but rewards you with a chewy, slightly firm grain and deep nutty flavor. Simmer the rice in a ratio of about 1 cup wild rice to 3 cups water, covered, for roughly 40–50 minutes until the grains split and the interior is tender.

• Rinse rice briefly to remove surface dust before cooking.
• Use 3 cups liquid per 1 cup rice and bring to a boil, then simmer covered.
• Drain any excess water and let rice rest 5–10 minutes for fluffing.
• Add butter or olive oil and season to taste after cooking.
