This is so interesting @duquejunalyn last week I bought rice I had never seen, they referred to it as black and white rice. Normally I purchase brown rice, this looked interesting.

When I cooked it a couple of days ago the 'white' was more brown, but the black rice is totally foreign to me.

I noticed it took longer to cook and enjoyed the flavour, now you have explained more about something I knew absolutely nothing about.

Never try this one. But already try the red rice, are they just the same?
