This time of the year is the time where a lot of cereals make their way to the breakfast table. Not the ones in packaged boxes but from the local fields which have been just harvested .
It is different types of rice and it's byproducts. I had posted a discussion about a field of black rice earlier. Today it is on my breakfast table.
Sticky and nutty , topped with milk and honey it makes for a very filling and tasty first meal of the day.
PS...The orange is papaya pieces.I put it that in for the contrast in my pic.

@responsiveme I hope so, but I am not sure if more people are cultivating this.

@sofssu they are. It is called Manipuri rice and was available in that state only , now people are cultivating it locally in Assam also.

Looks like a healthy breakfast there. For breakfast I had peanut butter and strawberry sandwich :)

@dya80dya maybe because it is not grown there locally

It's very tasty too. After sometime multinationals will discover it and make it into instant flakes or something and sell it at exorbitant prices

@responsiveme It is available, I am sure it would be more expensive than regular rice here.

@responsiveme For the moment it is expensive. The one sold here comes from Italy, it's called "Venus".

It is expensive but now many farmers are growing it so the price should come down

@responsiveme I agree. I try not to eat anything that comes in a package, but it can’t always be helped.

Once the multinationals discover this they'll end up being packaged .It is always a better choice to eat local and organic

@responsiveme I had a mixed rice salad the other day. It was made of white, brown and black rice. It was very nice.
