Wild rice is the state grain of Minnesota. It is harvested in Northern Minnesota on the Ojibwa lands, where it grows naturally in the lakes and waterways. This form of wild rice has been an essential component of the Native American diet for many generations. It is regularly served as part of a daily meal and for special ceremonies and feasts. It is typically prepared by roasting it in a wood-fire cauldron and the final product is soft, plump, and has a nutty flavor.
