Canadian North Saskatchewan Ice Lake harvest Organic Wild Rice Organic wild rice is grown in a sparsely populated glacial lake in the northern Saskatchewan prairies, Canada. It is natural, organic and nutritious. Wild rice is a species of grass that produces edible seeds resembling rice. However, it tends to have a more pungent taste. The plant grows best in shallow water in small lakes and slow-flowing streams, ideally between 75-90 cm in depth. The seeds ripen in late summer, between mid-August and early September. Northern Saskatchewan is a land of forests and lakes, developed on the glacially-scoured ancient rocks of the Precambrian Shield. The pristine environment of shallow lakes and slow-moving rivers in northern Saskatchewan provides an ideal habitat for wild rice. Saskatchewan wild rice is grown and processed without the use of chemical additives, colourants, or artificial flavourings.
