I rarely go to Costco because I don't have or need a membership so I'm always excited when I get a chance to go. Food or otherwise, they always have new, interesting looking products when I go. This trip, I spotted black rice and decided to give it a try. I'd heard of black rice on Dr. Oz and health magazines, but since it's not offered at my staple grocery store, I never think about it when doing my usual shopping for the week. My thoughts: It's a winner! The texture is hearty, the flavor a little earthy, and the taste is satisfying. I have cooked this rice many times since purchasing, using it as a side dish and incorporating it into stir fry dishes. The only downside is it turned one of my new stainless steel pots black! Okay...not completely, but there are 3 small stains that refuse to come out of my pot. Strange this is, this staining has only happened on one occasion so far. Recommend? Absolutely, it's a nice change from brown or white rice, quinoa, and the like. While I am not proclaiming that I won't "go back" to these alternatives, black rice is definitely a new staple. Have you heard of or tried black rice? Check out these recent posts:
