Salad of wild rice with dried apricots and raisins
I suggest you to try delicious, healthy and flavorful salad of wild rice. Contrary to mass belief, wild rice is irrelevant to the simple, traditional rice. The black seeds of this herb are the seeds of zizania, whose plume is North America. Since ancient times the Indians of this region seeds zizanie had eaten. In the winter, when hunting was difficult, zizania became the main source of sustenance for the Indian tribes. Wild rice has a unique, exotic taste, which mixed together the nuts and the sweetness of sugar. The only downside of this culture, I guess you can call it expensive, however as any other exotic of the product.
