Minnesota’s state grain is a type of aquatic grass that Native Americans have harvested by hand for thousands of years. Minnesota is one of the largest producers of wild rice, and the seed still grows naturally in our rivers and lakes. It’s a high-fiber, protein-rich, low-fat grain, comparable to brown rice. When cooked, it’s slightly chewy, with a nutty flavor. It can be found at most grocery stores, including the Trader Joe’s a couple blocks from U.S. Bank Stadium.
