تعريف ومعنى "wild rice"

What is "wild rice"?

Wild rice, often called the "caviar of grains," is a unique and highly nutritious grain known for its distinct earthy flavor, nutty aroma, and chewy texture. It has long, slender grains that vary in color from dark brown to black, with a firm and slightly crunchy texture. Wild rice is called so because of its natural growth and cultivation in the wild. Unlike cultivated rice varieties, wild rice is native to North America and grows in freshwater lakes, rivers, and wetlands. Its name reflects its wild origins and its natural habitat, where it thrives in the untamed, natural environment. The long, slender grains of wild rice, reminiscent of the grasses found in the wild, contribute to its name as well.
