Handling of the fresh green rice is the next step after picking. Once harvested, green wild rice is placed in long rows, ten inches deep, to allow the chlorophyll to dissipate from the plant. The rows are continuously turned to avoid heat damage. The wild rice is then transported to a processing facility.
