Do not confuse black rice with wild rice. Real black rice comes from China and now it is not so easy to find. Black Thai rice is offered in stores for a great price, it is similar to Chinese in nutritional value, but it does not have the same healing properties.

How to cook black rice?

If you were lucky enough to find real Chinese black rice or you bought plain black Thai, then it's time to learn how to cook it. Such rice is brewed for a long time, so it is best to pre-soak it for a day. And while he will be soaked, you can change the water once. You need to cook such rice for about 40 minutes in a saucepan with the lid closed. In the process, rice will slowly absorb water and eventually swell slightly.

In this recipe, I cook rice in coconut milk, so it turns out even more tender, and its texture becomes more expressive. I decorate the dish with topping of chopped apple, blueberry, sea buckthorn, pumpkin seeds and chia seeds. You can also add any other berries and fruits to your taste. Experiment!

I wish you good health and bon appetit!
