Culinary Excellence

Frequently used in Asian and Italian cuisine, black rice has a slightly nutty, yet sweet flavor with fruity and floral notes. This rice lends a beautiful black and purple coloring to your dishes, making for a uniquely stunning presentation. This medium grain rice cooks up to have a moist and tender texture, great for complementing dishes with chicken, pork, fish, or even vegetarian entrees.

When you use this rice to make authentic Asian dishes in your restaurant, like rice cakes, stir-frys, or rice pudding, you'll be sure to impress your guests with both the visual appeal and exquisite flavor!

Cooking Instructions

  1. Rinse black rice thoroughly under cold water until water runs clear.
  2. Combine 1 cup of black rice with 2 cups of water or broth in a saucepan.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
  4. Simmer for 30-35 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  5. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Tip: For enhanced flavor, toast the rinsed rice in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding liquid. This brings out the nutty characteristics of the rice.
