This variety of black, long-grain rice is grown in China. Once cooked, it turns a a rich purple colour, and develops a delicious stickiness, with a nutty-sweet taste. Once cooked, the black rice can be cooled to room temperature and used in sushi – or studded with roast vegetables and dried fruit for a dramatic salad. The black rice is also great for black risottos or even a twist on the classic rice pudding.
