more on wild rice

[Guest guest]

It looks like it is a light brown color when raw, although usually

harvested while still a little green. It is during the parching process

that the color changes to the very dark brown we see. Although, the

last website suggests that mature wild rice can be a dark purplee,

everything implies that it is harvested when young.
