Belazu Venus Black Rice 1kg

Good product, I’m eating this rice past a year.

Searching online for a low GI rice I came across a few possibilities, red, black and wild rice. Finally opted for black rice and this one in particular as the price per kilo was the best.Known as forbidden rice in days gone by in China because of its rarity, it was only eaten by royalty.We've just tried it for the first time - chewy and flavoursome (nutty) - it takes longer than white basmati to cook though that is not surprising - around 30-35 minutes but well worth the wait.We coked a mixture of black rice and long grain brown rice - worked really well. Add natural yoghurt and some soy sauce or maybe sumac to taste- delicious!

Great taste and quality and at a good price

I regularly buy black rice to mix through white, as I like the different texture. Imagine my surprise when I ended up with purple rice. Tastes lovely and earthy, yet to convince the kids.

I love black rice,this brand is particularly nutty and has lots of health benefits due to the dark colour. I will definitely purchase again.

Nice rich color and slightly nutty flavour . Texture is different from white rice but better in my opinion than brown rice. I switched over to this as hated brown rice but wanted to get away from white rice. The first time you cook it , it's slightly terrifying as goes such a strange shade but it doesn't affect it in anyways, if anything color makes it more interesting . On the value for money front ... I don't know if I can honestly say it is. The price from this seller is on a par for the market so this isn't a go at them but I can see it becoming a staple at the current cost in our house as very expensive especially when compared to other grains which can be used .

Good replacement for rice

The taste is nothing. The product get boiled extremely hard/ very long time. If you don't add some flavours, the rice is no taste. I used to eat a lot of black rice from different companies, and it was delicious and I ate it without anything added inside, because it was delicious, but this rice is no taste.
