Is it long grain, uncracked?

It is not cracked, it's whole grain, but I'm not sure if that qualifies as "long grain." It looks the same as other whole grain, uncracked wild rice I've used. Be careful, because the same company sells cracked wild rice in a package that looks almost identical, at a lower price. I haven't tried it yet. The quality of this rice is much better than the small boxes available at grocery stores, at about half the cost.

I believe it is. It takes about 55 minutes to cook on the stove and you can tell it is cooked when the grains fluff up, hence I would say it is uncracked. It definitely is not like the quick cooking version you find in the grocery store. I prefer cooking it on the stove rather than a rice cooker--the first time I cooked it using the rice cooker but it never fluffed up. I read about wild rice in the Joy of Cooking and the rice is properly cooked when it gets fluffy (cracks open). Sorry, long answer to a short question.

It is long grain and uncracked. It's of high quality and really tasty. Probably the best I've had.

I wouldnt consider it distressed, it just shows some grain, the color is consistent.

I have never seen a brew kit in which the grains were not crushed. I would say that they were crushed in this kit as well.

No there is not. Its is 100% uncooked/unroasted, unsalted seeds. They are shelled. I have recently even sprouted a small amount. They are good seeds.

Try it from your store first if you have doubts. My experience is that it has a whole grain texture. I like it.

I no longer have the item. But if I remember it was about 3 feet long uncoiled.

It is not fine grained, but not coarse grained, it doesn't need to be ground, it will go through a salt shaker.

I really do not know, but the grain is inside a plastic bag and does not contact the bucket.

I threw away the bag so I could not consult the written material. I do believe it is semi-pearled. It is delicious and full of nutrients. I would definitely get it for that reason and the fact that it is organic. Sorry it took this long to answer your question.

Hi, have been out of pocket for a few weeks, so just now getting to your question. The flour has a great taste and is great for baking. Not sure 'how large a grain parts' you're asking about? It is not a 'rough or coarse' grind with tons of hulls or unground seed-parts in it, but is obviously not as fine as the sterile white bleached stuff you get in stores. We buy it because it IS whole grain, which means you get the nutrition stored in the seed coat. Hope this is helpful. (p.s. we would purchase from them again)

Yes, it is coarse, but there is powder in the bag. We think it might have broken up some during shipping.

It is a hard kernel grain uncooked, much like rice in shape though a little larger, so I would not be inclined to put it into a blender. Once cooked, it would be soft, again like rice, so I doubt it.

Not freshly milled but I do use an Irish flour from King Arthur for a brown bread and the bran does get nicely separated when I sift the flour.

You can see a grain pattern, but I scratched under where the pillow attaches and the pattern disappears. So I would say a veneer. Even so, still looks nice and is sturdy. The top is slick however. 3/16ths of an inch thick.

They are whole grains, about the size of uncooked orzo and similar in shape. Tasty when cooked prperly.

Yes the grain runs the length. Appears to be a solid piece with one darker knot towards the middle. I didn't mind the knot but someone else might
