Rice Red 500g

Red rice is grown in Thailand. It is rich in flavor, almost nutty, and has a wonderful chewiness to it that long grained brown rice lacks, but similar to short grained brown rice.

We’ve tried it with several dishes and all were a success – with curried veg, sauteed mushrooms, with chickpeas or lentils, artichoke a  la king and sweetened with honey and cinnamon. To fully cook a cup of dry red rice, you’ll need 4-5 cups of water, soak for 30 minutes and then bring to the boil and simmer gently for 17 minutes, remove and let stand for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving.

From a nutrition perspective, red rice has 3 grams of fiber per serving (brown rice has 2 grams). But it has 10 times the antioxidants of brown rice! Red rice is also very rich in essential nutrients manganese (80% of your daily value) and molybdenum (35%).
