The Best Whole Grains

http://www.lifeologia.com/blog/- is a great page. If you haven't checked it you should. I certainly agree with wild rice getting a checkmark for 'high in protein' as well!
Great guide to grains!
Although I think Wild Rice should get the checkmark for *high in protein* 7 grams is quite high for a grain.

Which one's your favourite?
We switch between buckwheat, quinoa and rice quite often.

... Gluten-free Folks : please note Bulgur is not Gluten-free. Polenta as a grain is a ground corn meal - but if you look for it as a prepared Polenta recipe, it usually has wheat added to it, making it not GF.
Oats are naturally gluten-free, but often become contaminated with wheat and you need to purchase G-F certified oats if you want to be safe.

Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Wild Rice Flour

One of my all time favourite bloggers is Mommy Moment. She is down to earth, inspirational and genuinely caring. She altered her Grandma's Pumpkin Bundt Cake recipe by substituting 1 cup of Naosap Harvest Wild Rice Flour for the white flou...r, increasing the pumpkin by 1/2 cup and increasing the cooking time by 15 minutes. Thanks for sharing your recipe and your photo :) http://www.mommymoment.ca/2012/01/grandmas-pumpkin-bundt-cake.html

2 tsp quick rise yeast
3/4 cup Naosap Harvest Wild Rice Flour

Hints and Tips

 
Keep your Naosap Harvest organic wild rice in an airtight container and it will keep for years.
I usually cook my wild rice in large quantities (I have three kids). Because it does take quite a bit of time to cook it, I cook it then freeze it cooked in zip lock bags. Then when I get home from work, I can get out a bag, throw it in a pan add some garlic, onions and mushrooms and have a great side dish that is nutritious. I also add it to most of my homemade soups and turkey dressing.  
Enjoy!

Have you tried "Manitoba Maple Wild Rice Pudding"?

Check it out - another fantastic review of our wild rice.  Hard to beat fude's Manitoba Maple Wild Rice Pudding. I really like the idea of using cranberries instead of the raisins.  I am going to try that next time.  http://turning-the-clock-back.blogspot.com/2012/01/recipe-fude-style-manitoba-maple-wild.html

Not as costly as you might think.

 
Facts you need to know:
 
-     2 pounds of rice = approximately 6 cups of raw wild rice
 
-     1 cup raw wild rice = approximately 3 cups of cooked wild rice
 
-     One 2 pound bag of wild rice = approximately 18 cups of cooked Naosap Harvest wild rice
 
As wild rice triples itself – it is not as costly as most think.
