How people cook with it
This grain blend is excellent for adding substance and flavor to everyday meals. It can be prepared as a simple side or incorporated into more complex dishes.

- Mixed into salads
To prepare Jade Blend, rinse the grains thoroughly under cold water. Combine the rinsed blend with the recommended amount of liquid, typically water or broth, in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the grains are tender and the liquid is absorbed. This usually takes about 45 to 55 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving. It can also be cooked in a rice cooker according to manufacturer instructions.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain white rice, Jade Blend offers a more complex texture with a satisfying chew. Its nutty flavor is more pronounced than many other grains, and the visual appeal of the dark wild rice interspersed with lighter grains makes it stand out.

How to keep the rest
After cooking, store any leftover Jade Blend in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within 3 to 4 days for optimal freshness. Ensure the grains are completely cooled before sealing the container.
