I had this rice for the first time about a week ago and immediately fell in love with it. I might not have even thought of getting this particular variety – there being so many different ones in the bulk section at the health food store – except that I think it was on sale and I thought “Why not?” and decided to try it.
It turns out that this rice is absolutely mind blowing. It has such a nice, nutty flavor but its not just the flavor that makes it excellent. Its also not a glutinous rice like some varieties, and for whatever reason it just seems much more wholesome, easy to digest, non-acid-forming, and non-irritating. Its so tasty that all I usually do is sprinkle on a little bit of Celtic sea salt.
And another great thing is that the cost of this rice is about the same or perhaps only marginally higher than a high-quality brown rice.
Considering that I’m vegan, and that my daily bowl of rice is a very significant portion of my daily diet, having this really excellent rice makes a big difference.
Himalayan parboiled red rice. Love it!
