About Wilde rijst

Wilde rijst, often referred to as wild rice, is a nutrient-rich grain-like seed native to North America. Traditionally cultivated by Indigenous Peoples, it is primarily harvested from aquatic grasses found in lakes and streams. Though technically not a true rice, it shares similar culinary uses and is popular in hearty soups, salads, and as a side dish. Wilde rijst is packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as magnesium, phosphorus, and B vitamins. Its nutty flavor and chewy texture make it a versatile addition to various cuisines. Low in fat and calories, it’s a heart-healthy alternative to refined grains, supporting digestion and sustained energy levels. However, adding butter, cream, or high-sodium seasonings can negate its health benefits. Ideal for those seeking gluten-free options, wilde rijst is a perfect balance of taste and nutrition, suitable for vegetarian, vegan, and omnivore diets alike.
