1. Introduction to Manchurian Wild Rice (Củ Niễng)
Table of Contents
Manchurian Wild Rice Stem (Củ Niễng), scientifically known as Zizania latifolia, is a unique aquatic vegetable highly prized in East and Southeast Asian cuisine. It is not a grain, but rather the tender, swollen base of the water bamboo stalk.
At Vinahugo, we select only the finest, crispest stems to produce our Dehydrated/Freeze-Dried Manchurian Wild Rice. Our advanced processing technology removes moisture while preserving the ivory-white color, the tender “bamboo-shoot” texture, and the subtle, sweet nutty flavor that makes this vegetable a seasonal delicacy.
