Organic Medium-Grain Chinese Black Rice | 1 lb | Chef-inspired Ingredients

TRADITIONAL, HERBACEOUS, BLACK RICE: Once grown exclusively for the Chinese aristocracy to ensure good health and long life, Chinese black rice, also known as the Emperor's Rice, is a 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: This slightly sticky Chinese Black Rice has a subtly fragrant, sweet flavor with a rich nuttiness and a chewy texture, making it a delicious complement to a variety of dishes. It can be substituted for regular white rice in both savory and sweet recipes, adding more eye-catching color and complementing textures. Wholesome and healthy, this superfood is rich in antioxidants and iron, with more protein and fiber than white rice.

PERFECT FOR: Chinese Black Rice is versatile and can be used in a wide range of dishes. It makes a beautiful pilaf, can be added to salads (both hot and cold), and serves as an excellent bed for seafood, poultry, or meat. For a unique twist on traditional sushi, this rice can be mixed with sushi rice in rolls. It is also impressive in rice puddings, rice molds, and rice balls, or can simply be used to impart a deep indigo color to other foods.

HOW TO USE: To prepare, bring 1 cup of the gourmet Chinese Black Rice and 1 3/4 cups of water to a boil in a pot over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 25 minutes. Separate the grains with a fork before serving.
