How to Bloom Wild Rice
To start you will need to measure out ½ cup of dried wild rice, then wash and rinse your rice well. To a 32-ounce mason jar, add the rice and cover with 2 cups of spring or filtered water and soak for 12 hours. After the wild rice has soaked, drain and rinse it well. Return the rice to the jar and cover it with more water and a BPA-free plastic lid. Keep it in a warm (65–75°F) dark place such as an oven or a dehydrator. For best results, it is recommended to change the water to fresh water every 12 hours.
Wild rice generally needs 24–48 (up to 96) hours to bloom fully. You will know it has bloomed when the wild rice splits open or is tender when you bite into it. Depending on the temperature, wild rice can fully bloom within 12 hours. To expedite the process, set it in a box dehydrator on low or in the oven with the light on overnight.
Once the rice has bloomed, give it a final rinse. Transfer to a salad spinner or spread out on a clean kitchen towel to ensure it’s dry before storing in a container with a loose-fitting lid. Enjoy raw or cooked!
Materials
Spring or filtered water
32-ounce mason jar with a plastic lid
Storage
Store wild rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
If you have leftover rice that is undressed it can stay fresh for up to 10 days. Before you refrigerate it, make sure that your rice is dry. Dry it out in a salad spinner and then lay it out to dry on a towel. It is best to store your sprouts in your refrigerator in a container or reusable food-saver bag lined with paper towels to maintain a dry atmosphere and keep your sprouts tasting fresh.
