National Wild Rice Week starts September 28th, 2025

National Wild Rice Week

Wild rice is the official state grain of Minnesota. This nutritious food grows there in natural bodies of water, and must be cooked a good deal longer than regular rice in order to soften adequately.

That's why there's a whole week dedicated to wild rice each year: there's so much to learn!
