Frequently Asked Questions
How does black rice taste compared with white rice?
Black rice has a fuller, slightly nutty and earthy flavour. Its cooked texture is generally firmer and more substantial than ordinary white rice.
Why does black rice turn purple when cooked?
The naturally dark bran layer releases colour during cooking, giving the grains and cooking liquid a deep purple-black appearance.
Is this black rice gluten-free?
Rice is naturally gluten-free. However, this product is processed in a facility that also handles wheat and may contain traces, so customers avoiding gluten should consider the cross-contact statement.
