Organic Black Rice

Organically-grown in local organic farms.

The "Forbidden Rice" or "Emperor's rice" and even "longevity rice" as it was only for the consumption of Royal families during ancient China, where black rice marks its origin.

A better alternative to plain white rice and even great to include in a well-balanced diet, one can even have an extra! This variety has more taste and provides more benefits to the health.


How to Cook Black Rice:

1:1.5 water ratio (1.5 cups of water to every 1 cup of rice). Cook for 40 to 45 minutes. 

If softer rice is desired increase the amount of water. 

Note: For best results, soak rice in water for 1 hour before cooking.
When cooked, its deep black color turns deep purple, has a soft texture with a nutty and mild taste.
