Black rice has many names like forbidden rice, purple rice, and Chinese black rice or heirloom Thai rice. It can be completely black or more of a dark purple or burgundy with some multicolored kernels. When black rice is cooked it turns dark purple. It’s low glycemic, gluten-free, and has a nutty flavor. Black rice gets its dark color from the antioxidant called anthocyanin. It’s the same nutrient that is found in many purple-colored fruits and vegetables such as blueberries and eggplant. Since black rice is naturally sticky, it’s perfect for sushi. Black rice is also often used to make desserts and puddings. The purple pigment in the black rice is so strong that it will stain anything and everything. So, use glass or metal cookware and wipe your countertop immediately if you get any wet black rice or the purple colored liquid on it. Also, make sure to protect your clothing. Black rice will also stain any food it’s cooked with. To cook on the stovetop: * 2 1/4 cup water or broth * 1 cup of black rice, rinsed * 1/8 tsp of salt (or to taste) Add water, and rinsed black rice to a saucepan. Over medium-high heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt, reduce heat, cover, and cook for about 30-35 minutes. Resist the urge to lift the cover. Continue cooking until the rice is tender and chewy, and all water is absorbed. Take off the heat and let it stand covered for about 5 to 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork and serve.
