wild rice blend

Mixed ancient grains

Wild rice blend is a packaged mixture of wild rice and other grains, typically long-grain white or brown rice.

The blend makes wild rice—which is expensive and has a chewy texture—more accessible and easier to cook: I made a wild rice blend as a side dish.

The proportions vary by brand, with wild rice often being the minority ingredient.
