Long Grain and Wild Rice Blend with Herbs
What it is
This is a convenient blend of long grain white rice and wild rice, pre-seasoned with a savory herb mixture. It offers a combination of textures and flavors, with the fluffy white rice complementing the chewier, nuttier wild rice. The added herbs provide an aromatic and flavorful base for a quick meal.
How people cook with it
This rice blend is designed for ease in the kitchen, providing a flavorful side dish or a base for main courses with minimal preparation.
- Quick side dish for weeknight dinners
- Base for grain bowls

To prepare, typically you would combine the contents of the package with a specified amount of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. This usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving. It can also be prepared in a rice cooker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain white rice, this blend offers a more complex flavor profile due to the wild rice and herb seasoning. The wild rice provides a distinct chewy texture and earthy taste that plain rice lacks. The pre-added herbs save the step of seasoning separately.
