## About <!--about-->
Wild rice, also called manoomin or Canada rice, is the grain of the four grass species of the genus Zizania; it belongs to the same botanical tribe as domesticated rice but is a different plant, gathered and eaten mainly in North America and, to a lesser extent, China.[^wp-wild] Its grains have a chewy outer sheath around a tender inner grain.[^wp-wild] Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Long Grain & Wild pouches sold in Canada list it after long grain parboiled rice.[^metro]
