Wild Rice is considered a whole grain due to its characteristics, as it absorbs more protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals compared to other rice varieties. It is consumed in greater quantities in North America and the Middle East. It can also be mixed with other rice varieties, thus getting even more health benefits. In addition to being a long, fine grain, it is also known to be black or red, with a characteristic hazelnut texture and flavor.
