Wild rice is great served hot, warm, or chilled.
 

Uncooked wild rice will keep up to 7 years in a dry, airtight container. 
 

Cooked, drained, and tightly covered wild rice can be stored in a refrigerator for one to two weeks and six months in the freezer.
 

Wild rice expands three to four times its raw size after cooking.
 

Wild rice requires more liquid and cooking time than white rice.
 

One 6-ounce package of raw wild rice yields three to four cups of cooked wild rice.
 

Wild rice is high in protein and fiber, low in fat and has no additives or preservatives.
 

To save time, keep a supply of cooked wild rice on hand.  Just cook a large portion ahead of time and freeze in small portions.  It will store up to six months in the freezer.
 

To thaw frozen wild rice quickly, place in a strainer and either run hot tap water through it or place over a steaming kettle.  The wild rice will be ready to be used in just a few minutes.
