A return to heritage. By moving away from fossil fuels and returning to traditional wood-fired parching, we have captured a flavor profile that modern processing cannot replicate. As the rice rotates in our custom drums, natural wood smoke infuses every grain, resulting in a deep, roasted aroma. This artisanal method yields a lower moisture content, providing a significantly faster cook time without sacrificing the integrity of the ancient grain.

Profile: Robust, smoky, and toasted; authentic North Woods character

Process: 100% Wood-Parched (fossil fuel-free) for superior flavor and efficiency

Packaging: Arrives in our signature printed burlap bag, ideal for gifting or a rustic kitchen aesthetic

Quantity: Three (3) individually sealed 1 lb bags

Your order is shipped in a sturdy corrugated case containing three (3) individually sealed 1 lb packages, ensuring the wood-smoked aroma stays fresh until the moment you're ready to cook.

Store in a cool, dry place. For maximum flavor retention and extended shelf life, we recommend keeping the bags in an airtight container or refrigerating after opening.

Because of the lower moisture content from the wood-parching process, this whole grain cooks faster than standard wild rice.

Preparation: Combine 1 cup rice with 3 cups water or broth

Cooking: Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 20–25 minutes

The "Bloom": Turn off the heat and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, the grains will "pop" to reveal a tender, smoky interior
