Dear Northern Latitude:
I began searching for a new source of wild rice after the name brands I had been buying became difficult to find on the grocery shelves. I decided to try your rice because the product description sounded great, and because even after shipping costs it was still less expensive than what I had been paying. I'm so happy I explored new options! Your rice is the perfect product--tastes great and the long grains are beautiful to look at. I will be a regular customer from now on. It bothers me that in a city the size of Los Angeles (CA) I have never had access to your product. I understand that grocery stores have limited shelf space, but I also understand that politics and money are two overriding factors that unfairly limit the public's ability to access the best products in this country. Idaho is not so far from Los Angeles, and this superior rice should not be kept such a secret.
"Coeur d'Alene wild rice is the best! The long black grains burst open as they cook to reveal a tender interior. With its mildly nutty flavor and rich texture, it makes a great accompaniment for any meal, and it looks as good and wholesome as it tastes. I love it simmered in chicken broth, sometimes adding butter or olive oil with chopped chives and parsley stirred in, and it's especially delicious as a base for any kind of stir-fry ladled over it. Definitely a favorite on my table!"
"I love this rice! It has such a beautiful long, dark seed that cooks up to a delicious moist rice. It is perfect the way it is, also great when made with chicken broth. I will cook up a batch to keep on hand and use it as a delicious side dish, on salads, in soups, in main dishes and in hors d'oeuvres. It heats up well in the microwave after being cooked. There is a delicate nutty taste. Yum!!"
