This Korean variety from Naturefarm has a nutty, slightly sweet flavour and a satisfyingly chewy texture, which comes from its bran layer being left intact. It's a versatile ingredient commonly used in Korean cuisine, often mixed with white rice to add colour, texture, and nutritional value to everyday meals. For a classic Korean preparation, mix a small amount of black rice with your regular white rice before cooking to create a beautiful purple-hued dish called heukmi-bap (흑미밥). This rice is a staple in many Korean households and is also suitable for making rice salads, porridge, or even desserts. It is naturally gluten-free and a good source of fibre and antioxidants.
