Frequently used in Asian and Italian cuisine, black rice has a slightly nutty, yet sweet flavor with fruity and floral notes. This rice lends a beautiful black and purple coloring to your dishes, making for a uniquely stunning presentation. When you use this rice to make authentic Asian dishes in your restaurant, like rice cakes, stir-frys, or rice pudding, you'll be sure to impress your guests!
