Organico Nerone Black Wholegrain Speciality Organic Rice 500 g (Pack of 3)

I love rice. I grew up in the Far East where, like many others, we used to make our own household blend of rice: Thai Jasmine for the fragrance, Australian long grain for the bite ("mouth feel"!) and Chinese for taste, texture and balance.I like camargue red rice, wild rice (only not a "rice" for true pedants), Bhutanese red rice, Basmati etc, but Nerone rice is one I could return to again and again.It has an deeply aromatic and complex bouquet which really best accompanies more richly flavoured foods: Slow cooked roast, or shellfish rather than white fish on its own.I cook it in around 1.7x the volume of stock / broth in a covered pan for around 35 minutes at the lowest heat. All the water should have been absorbed but the rice should just be a little moist (more so than other rices). There will be a thick purple patinaat the bottom of the pan which should be carefully stirred back into the rest of the rice.

Really good quality, great taste and healthier than regular white rice, plus, plus, plus!

Love this rice! takes a bit longer to cook, and water colour becomes mauve, but it is super tasty and full of fibre. A little goes a long way, and it also looks gorgeous, especially alongside a butternut squash/sweet potato curry.Highly recommended.

It’s ok prices not bad too

My daughter loves this rice.

Really pleased with this rice it's the first black rice I've bought after enjoying it in a Mindful Chef meal recently. I boiled it for 35mins rinsed it & put back in the pan with a small knob of butter to heat through. It has a nutty texture & lovely flavour I did with a piece of cod, it suits fish a shame to waste on a curry. I don't enjoy wholemeal rice and this is much better for you.

If you haven't try it yet, you must. I love it, don't buy any other rice. Don't mistake it with a wild rice. It's a special variety, I think, a cross of wild and risotto. Very nutritious and have less carbs and more fibre than brown rice.

Really tasty rice, my son loves this better than brown rice
