Red rice is mostly associated with Asian dishes but can add a wonderful flavour and aroma to any number of sweet or savoury dishes from east to west.

In the Kitchen:

You can use red rice as you would any other rice for cooking. It can be eaten as a side to casseroles, curries , stir frys, OR to make any Asian inspired rice dishes. The colour adds a little more ‘special’ to the table.

A little History:

The history of red rice dates as far back to the Tang Dynasty in China in 800AD where it was eaten for both culinary and medicinal purposes.
