Wonderful Black Rice
I enjoy Black rice more than white. It's less starchy and has more flavor. Organico Black Ricce had a good nutty flavor and was softer than other brands that I have tried. I was very happy with this purchase.
nutty and not starchy
Nutty lovely tasting rice which justifies its daunting price. It changes the colour of vegetables cooked with it though. A happy discovery.
Fantastic
A store cupboard staple in our house. Fantastic with spicy dishes like curry and chilli. Great as a salad base. We cook in excess water on a rolling simmer for around 35 minutes.
delicious and very messy
Delicious rice, but what a huge mess! Like cooking black ink everywhere. Not at all fun to clean up.
Fabulous
Normally get the brown basmati and wild rice or the red Camargue but thought Id try this even though a bit expensive. Wow its was wonderful.. cooked for 37 mins it was nutty and flavoursome with a excellent texture. I can see why it was known as the forbidden rice reserved for the Emperor. It is really versatile , weve had it mixed with roast Mediterranean veg and salmon and it was just as delicious cold mixed in with salad veg and chicken. Its definitely worth every penny .
Decadent
This certainly elevates a simple rice dish into an experience. Rich, filling & super healthy, I can drizzle with a bit of olive oil, sea salt, pepper & edamame beans for a easy yet sublime meal.
