High in protein and fiber, nutty and with a striking visual appeal, wild rice is one of the healthiest grains avail- able. It was a staple food of several Native American tribes, who called it "manoomin" or "precious grain." Fall River Wild Rice brings this culinary gem to your store shelf. This naturally cul- tivated wild rice is great in salads, soups and stir-fries. However, it also works well in mixes for pancakes and muffins and even in chocolate and desserts. Fall River's Fully Cooked Wild Rice is high-pro- tein goodness in seconds. The only cereal grain native to North America, wild rice is not even a rice at all. It is the seed of Zizania palustris, a tall, blooming water grass that prospers in the Great Lakes region, as well as in the fruit- ful valleys in the shadows of the Sierra Nevadas. Fall River Wild Rice is a small grower- owned cooperative in the Fall River Valley, a rural mountain valley nes- tled between the Cascade and Sierra Ne- vada ranges.
