- TRADITIONAL, HERBACEOUS, BLACK RICE: Once grown for the Chinese aristocracy to ensure good health and long life. Chinese black rice, also known as the Emperor’s Rice, is gluten-free medium-grain rice that’s slightly sticky with a silky dark indigo color when cooked and features a rich, sweet flavor.
- COMPLEMENT YOUR DISH: Chinese Black Rice is subtly fragrant with sweet flavor notes and a rich nuttiness. This slightly sticky rice had a chewy texture and tastes amazing. Chinese Black Rice can be substituted for virtually anything recipe callign for regular white rice, both savory and sweet, for more eye-catching color and complementing textures. Wholesome and healthy. Superfood rich in antioxidants and iron with more protein and fiber than white rice! Naturally gluten-free.
- PERFECT FOR: Use for beautiful pilafs, salads (hot and cold) and as a bed for seafood, poultry or meat. Or, mix with sushi rice in sushi rolls for a lavish, unusual twist on traditional sushi. Chinese Black Rice is also impressive in rice puddings, rice molds and rice balls - or simply to impart a deep indigo color into other foods.
- HOW TO USE: Bring 1 cup of the gourmet rice and 1 3/4 cups water to a boil in a pot over high heat. Cover, turn heat to low, and simmer until tender, about 25 minutes. Separate grains with a fork before serving.
