Review: Best price per kilo - Searching online for a low GI rice I came across a few possibilities, red, black and wild rice. Finally opted for black rice and this one in particular as the price per kilo was the best. Known as forbidden rice in days gone by in China because of its rarity, it was only eaten by royalty. We've just tried it for the first time - chewy and flavoursome (nutty) - it takes longer than white basmati to cook though that is not surprising - around 30-35 minutes but well worth the wait. We coked a mixture of black rice and long grain brown rice - worked really well. Add natural yoghurt and some soy sauce or maybe sumac to taste- delicious!

A: No, it’s firm and nutty. Very nice

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quite nice in buddha bowls
*by A***R on 27 December 2020*

I rinse and soak this overnight and use a rice cooker. This product is chewier than my cupboard staple- thai fragrant (white) rice. Its worth noting this isn't fragrant like black glutinous rice as I suspect some other reviewers were expecting, it is a x-strain between risotto and black rice, so can have a gummy texture if overcooked. Quite nice in buddha bowls, burrito bowls, etc. Positives: higher fiber content (Venus rice, 3.4g vs Green Dragon fragrant rice, 1.0g), contains anthocyanin, subtle nutty flavour. Negatives: can take a long time to cook, my mother mentioned she had a little indigestion compared to red/white rice, significantly more expensive much like other specialty ingredients (Green Dragon fragrant rice, £1.75 per 1kg)
