Sprouted Wild Rice with Corn and Tomato
Wild rice is actually a grass, not a grain. It’s an aquatic seed that’s found mostly in the upper fresh water lakes of Canada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in North America. It’s a great source of protein, minerals, B vitamins, folic acid, and carbohydrates. I enjoyed wild rice the other morning to help fuel my cardio workout later that day. I like to soak wild rice in at least double the amount of water for 2 or more days. Rinse and change soak water at least 2 to 3 times each day. Soaked wild rice will never get as soft as when it’s cooked, but that’s what I love about it. It has a chewy, hearty mouth feel that’s really satisfying, especially when my body’s craving some complex carbs. This simple, quick, delicious recipe is made with just a handful of ingredients. Personally, I leave out the oil and salt. But it will bump up the flavor profile if you choose to add it in. Sprouted Wild Rice with Corn and Tomato
Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Toss to mix well. Will keep for 3 days in fridge. tags: Ani's Raw Food Essentials, california, carbohydrates, cilantro, complex, corn, easy, fast, folic acid, garlic, jalapeno, live, living, los angeles, natural, nutritious, olive oil, organic, protein, raw, raw food, recipe, sea salt, seed, tomato, uncooked, Vegan, Vegetarian, vitamin B, weight loss, whole food, wild rice

Looks and sounds really delicious! And looks really fresh too! I reckon this would be nice with fresh mint or basil aswell!
I talked to a wold rice producer in Northern Minnesota who told me that he didn’t know of any process to get the sticky husks off without using high heat. Is there a source that you know of?

“Wild rice is actually a grass, not a grain.”
Grass is the type of plant that grains grow on – the grain is the seed that is harvested from the plant. Rice and wheat are grains that we eat, but the plants that they grow on are both grasses.
Will soaking the wild rice for so long rid it of nutrients through diffusion?
What a great idea Ani! I can’t wait to play around with wild rice now. Thanks for sharing, as usual.
Hmmm… I’ll keep the salt and oil… but skip the corn… I avoid most grains, especially genetically modified as most corn in the US is nowdays…
Thanks for the recipe Ani!
Ed: there’s a great video on Daniel Vitalis’ site that shows how wild rice can be harvested and processed without high heat.
Good point regarding the heating process required to remove the husks off of the original raw wild rice! My father owns and operates a wild rice processing plant, so I can assure you that heat is definitely required to remove this husk. Before this heating process, the rice looks like grain because of the golden husk covering each “grain” of rice. If you find out any information on being able to remove this husk without using heat, please post it, and I would be happy to test it out.
Seriousness, I need to know about sticky husk business because I’m about to blow the o-ring. Raw Foodism is my career and I shudder to think I’[ha]ve committed a cardinal sin by serving the governor cook food. Please confirm the sticky husk harvesting method of wild rice, Ani.

Is the wild rice left out to soak, or do you soak it in the refrigerator?

Hi Ani and Everyone!
This is an AWESOME dish. I made a few additions to it because of my LOVE for Garlic, Corn, and Olive Oil. However, just as Ani has written this dish to prepare is still going to be WONDERFUL!!!!
Thanks Ani and keep em’ coming!

If the heat has destroyed the rice (in the process of removing the husks)it wouldn’t sprout because it would no longer be a living food. so if it sprouts its good
Fantastic also w Roma tomatoes and chopped basil and cant wait to try with other garins herbs etc… I even added sprouts and raw sunflower seeds for added crunch and texture
