From wild rice harvested in pristine Canadian waters to unique blends that bring versatility to the table, Floating Leaf Fine Foods is redefining how we enjoy whole grains.Wild rice is more than just a nutritious grain; it has deep cultural and historical significance. Traditionally harvested by Indigenous communities, wild rice has been a vital food source and a symbol of sustenance for First Nations peoples for centuries. Floating Leaf Fine Foods continues to honour these traditions by working closely with Indigenous harvesters and ensuring their wild rice is naturally grown, hand-harvested, and sustainably sourced, preserving both the land and its heritage.Join me for this podcast.
