I remember as a kid having wild rice in which the
individual grains opened up during cooking. That
was really good wild rice. The stuff I got at
Trader Joe's didn't open up at all, and I didn't
think it was very good.

I'm wondering whether the difference may have been
whether the rice was parched before cooking. As I
recall, that's part of the traditional way of preparing
wild rice.
