There are two kinds of wild rice. The first is manoomin, foraged in lakes mainly by the Anishinaabeg in the Great Lakes region of the northern Midwest. The second is wild rice domesticated by public university researchers in the 1950s and is raised in paddies by commercial growers. Yet neither is st...
