Why Manoomin Wild Rice Is So Expensive | So Expensive Food | Business Insider

Manoomin, meaning "the good berry," is a type of wild rice that has been harvested by the Ojibwe people in the Great Lakes region of North America for centuries. At $24 per pound, manoomin costs 15 times as much as white rice.
For the Ojibwe people, harvesting this rice means much more than money. It's a way to connect with their ancestors and pass on their traditions to future generations. But as the rest of the world discovers this ancient grain, the tribe fears that it will lose its importance and that its natural ecosystem will be exploited.
So, what is the meaning of manoomin? And why is it so expensive?

Why Manoomin Wild Rice Is So Expensive | So Expensive Food | Business Insider

[@Srt98srt]

My uncle is Ojibwa and every year for Christmas we all get bags of this stuff, hand harvested by his family on the White Earth Reservation, just like in the video. Really cool that wild rice is finally getting some more widespread notoriety, as it’s always been very important to Minnesotans, especially natives.

Very cool video. Growing up Chinese American I learned the significance of rice at a early age. My folks that were in China grew up poor and would sometimes not have anything but rice, some days even not have rice at all because they were so poor. I was taught to always clean my bowl and eat every drop because "1 grain of rice is equivalent of 1 tear and sweat to farm." In Japan I think they even have a deity for rice. Loved this video for making me few closer to First Nations culture based off food. I hope their way of living off the land and respect for nature never changes.

[@1212ImAnubis]

In Indonesia there is 1 rice producing region which is quite expensive and rare, the cheapest price is $25-$50!!! Its name is known as "Mountain Rice". This rice is obtained from the Dayak and Banjar tribes who are in the Meratus mountains of Kalimantan. This rice has a fragrant aroma and a slightly sweet taste. This distinctive taste can be obtained because this rice is planted in a forest that has just been cleared and made into fields. They plant this rice once a year then leave the land empty after harvesting for 5 years and re-plant the rice again. Edit: All the method using manual method, similiar with this video too.

[@unknownnation9465]

I grew up eating this stuff, as we harvested it right out our back door. We had it so much I would ask for white rice for something different. I don't live in that part of Canada anymore and really miss it, along with the walleye fillets. Everytime I go back that's all I want to eat.

[@reahsahpagel3354]

I got the opportunity at my university to take a class about indigenous seed sovereignty and land policy. One of the activities we did was actually learning the process of getting the rice grain to the final stage so they can eat it. Albeit it was a little of the process and not the whole thing. But i appreciated it so much especially in a region where it was so abundant at one point. My university also makes some manoomin dishes at the dining hall as well. It’s a step forward for sure. I suggest you guys try it with berries, apples and maple syrup w manoomin soo good!

At the beginning when the narrator says they people do this to connect with their ancestors I get such a pang. I grew up in rural Appalachia. As a child I tried so hard to get information on the past and was frustrated at every turn because my grandparents often had next to no knowledge of their own people. And those generations died, being poor, there was little in the way of artifacts I could collect to pass on. They had little beyond necessities and the few things they did possess...used until nothing was left of them. I often marvel at these groups of people who have such an appreciation for their heritage, and I wonder if takes the threat of its loss to produce this kind of attention to its preservation. Maybe that's the key difference. My grandmother died at 99 in 2019. She saw life move from existing primarily off the land with no electricity and little connection to the outside world, to our present state. And it doesn't appear it ever entered her head to make sure the memories of that extinct way of life were passed on. Maybe it happened too fast. Maybe she just wanted to forget those hard times. Sorry for the rant. I'm simply envious of those who care about the past in a way my own people do not.

[@niklas5547]

Love to see people still doing stuff just for the sake of keeping a tradition alive and showing it to their kids. As a child my grandfather(farmer) would insist on teaching us city-kids the entire process of harvesting hay and grain by hand and horse.

The difference in composition of the grain is what makes the cooking time quite a bit longer than true rice. E.g. My experience cooking different rice varieties: - White rice takes 16-20mins - Basmati or Jasmin take 15-16mins + 5-10mins of rest - Brown (unpolished) rice takes 22-27mins - Wild rice takes 45mins to 1hr+

For the sake of accuracy, the “oo” in “manoomin” is pronounced like the “o” in the word “toll” not “tool”. “Muh-NOH-min”. The Ojibwe language doesn’t have that “ooh” sound, and if you catch an Ojibwe saying it that way, it’s because they didn’t get to learn their language, unfortunately.

[@kberkstr]

That’s not entirely true, it actually varies by dialect.
