With all of these differences, why is white rice so widely eaten? While it may be a taste preference, white rice is cheaper than brown rice and it cooks much faster.
Wild Rice
If you’re a fan of wild rice, you may be surprised to learn that it is not in fact rice at all.
Unlike rice that was native to Asia, what we call wild rice is native to the area around Minnesota and Canada. It is the seeds of a grass and has been eaten for thousands of years, beginning with Native Americans, and is higher in protein, iron and potassium than brown rice. It cooks similarly but is firmer and denser. Although dark in color, wild rice is different from black rice.
