In fact the black rice is much more expensive here. It has more nutrition than the normal rice. We think it is a healthier food. Usually we use it to make the sweet congee with other kinds of beans and rice. I love China

I've seen it in the stores, but haven't tried any yet. I like to try things I haven't had before!

I've had forbidden rice before, which is a type of black rice. It's delicious mixed with a bit of wild rice (it's a bit too expensive to eat on a regular basis though.) It's rich in iron which is great too. I usually only eat brown rice though, and never eat white rice because it's so terrible for you. I recommend looking up some recipe suggestions for the type of black rice you buy since it has a different flavor and texture than other types of rice you are used to :)
