Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I had always heard that wild rice is actually not a rice at all but a kind of wild oats...I know that sounds weird! There is another kind of rice that is an actual rice and it is a deep color--almost black, although maybe it would be called purple. I bought some once and it was labled as " Forbidden Rice " (I think the brand name was " Lotus " . I put opened packages of grains or rice into glass jars to store them, but I don't know if the label is included in the jar with the stored rice. I have cooked some of this dark purple-black rice and it is very tasty, but rather sticky. If I remember right, it is somewhat sweet in taste, too. There is another kind of rice called " Japonica " or probably more properly, " black Japonica " , and it is also very dark in color. (This particular rice I had in a rice blend from the Lundberg brand--it comes with a mahogany-colored rice mixed in, which I think is what they call " wehani " rice.) Anyway, those are the two rice varieties (I think it may be the same rice as far as the " black rice " goes) that I have tried and seen in stores, etc. I'm not sure I have any experience, however, with black sesame, though I have seen it in some natural food stores and specialty food shops.

It's not the same as brown rice. Brown rice is good, because it has fiber, but black rice has foundational essence. To prepare black sesame, take 1-3 tablespoons and put it in a stainless steel or earthenware pan. Cover it with an inch of water. You can take out all the floating ones, because they are empty hulls. Boil it for ten minutes. Then let it cool. Drink the water and eat the seeds. Do this every morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I call Japonica rice, black rice. I've heard the same thing about wild rice, it's grass seed or more of a grain.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 The type of sticky rice is actually glutenous rice. Best taken sweet with coconut or evaporated milk added. Cooking with more water is necessary. Its ready to serve when the rice grains " opened up " splits. I ate alot of this stuff in Thailand cooked with mango and coconut milk added. Jimmy , " L.B.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Take 1-3 tablespoons of black rice. You need a stainless steel or earthenware pan. You can use glass too. Cover with an inch of water. You can scrape the floaters off the top. Those are empty hulls. Boil for ten minutes, then allow to cool. Eat the seeds and drink the water. Do this every morning to tonify foundational essence. Doesn't taste bad at all either. Nutty. I believe that wild rice is also considered black rice, from the standpoint of Traditional dietary therapy. - " jimmy_ghlee " <jimmy_ghlee Wednesday, March 25, 2009 3:01 PM Re: Black Rice and Wild Rice > The type of sticky rice is actually glutenous rice. > Best taken sweet with coconut or evaporated milk added. > Cooking with more water is necessary.
