Review: Delicious black rice flavorful - Most delicious black rice, very nutty and wholesome will buy again
Review: An unusually fragrant, tasteful rice. - I bought this rice in bulk, for economy, not having eaten it before. It is very good. When freshly cooked it has an unusually nice fragrance, almost flower like. I like it very much. The rice seeds are smaller than usual, and tend to wash through the vertical slots of the rice washing bowel I use before cooking the rice. Water added to the rice and allowed to set before cooking is absorbed well by the dry rice. I first tried cooking some in a my new Tatung electric pressure cooker (which has a stainless steel cooking pot, which is excellent), but the rice was too wet because I added too much water. Next I began using my new Tatung indirect rice cooker (which also has a totally stainless steel cooking pot and interior), and I have been getting excellent cooked rice. My habit has been to cook a large amount and refrigerate the extra, as I use it up over several days, but the best method for taste would be to cook it fresh every day. The extra dry bulk rice has been put into large glass storage jars, to preserve its freshness as much as possible. I eat rice daily, and this rice seems very nourishing. The black/purple color is unusual. I add salt and coconut oil while cooking it, very simple.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the heirloom and organic forbidden rice products?**
A: Organic is grown without any chemical herbicides and pesticides.  Presumably, the heirloom type is not.  I am sure the organic forbidden rice is also an heirloom seed.  It is just grown without chemicals.  Here is the company FAQ:  http://www.lotusfoods.com/index.php/connect/faq

**Q: how many carbohydrates?**
A: 1 cup cooked is around 34 g of carbs

**Q: What is the country of origin?**
A: the packaging says Product of China.  and its a different country on each of their rice types

**Q: Is this rice organic?**
A: Hi there,

Our heirloom Forbidden rice is not certified USDA organic but our Organic Forbidden rice is indeed organic.
Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
Best,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great rice!
*by Y***S on October 9, 2011*

I first bought this rice at my local safeway several months ago, and when I tasted it, I pretty much fell in love with it. After I bought it twice from safeway, I decided to order the 6 pack from lotus food, twice! Since I first tasted this rice last spring, I haven't gotten back to eating brown rice since, though I am craving for it now. The rice takes a little longer to cook than white rice, but not a whole lot. It usually takes only about 30 minutes when I use my rice cooker. Besides the unique nutty taste and color, the earthy smell of the rice that comes out the rice cooker just makes it even more pleasant to experience this rice. Compared to brown and white rice, it's definitely more expensive (3.5 to 8X more), and some may seem it as a "novelty." But like any other rice, it certainly lasts a while when you go bulk with the six pack or 11 or 22 pounds, and it's not so expensive that you would break the bank. I highly recommend everyone to try this rice at least once though just for the experience, and go from them after. And if the studies about this type of rice being arguably the healthiest rice due to having a high amount of antioxidants, perhaps its worth it.
