I was reading an article this morning regarding this particular rice. I have never heard of it before. I will have to find out where they sell it locally and try it out.
Figured I would pass it along.

What is Black Rice exactly?
'Black Rice' is actually more purplish in color than black; although when uncooked it is very dark in appearance. This type of rice is usually sold 'un-milled', with the husk intact. Up until modern times, Black Rice was not easy to come by; it had been highly treasured and protected in Asia for many centuries. It is also commonly used as a condiment, dressing, or as a decoration for different types of desserts in many countries around the world.High in nutritional value, black rice is rich in iron and high in fiber.
