So I saw this red rice at my local food co-op and shunned it because it was $4.29 or some similar price, for 15 oz. Very expensive, not just per fraction of an ounce, but relative to dollars in my wallet. A week has gone by and I bought some, cooked it tonight. The fifteen ounces is just about two cups of rice, therefore produces about four cups, or thereabouts. I cooked up one cup, and have plenty to take to work tomorrow.
The label says Bhutanese Red Rice, from the Himalayn kingdom. Well, ok. Wherever it may be from, I love it. Not to dismiss where it is grown, as I still don't like arborio by Lindberg, a California company. But on to the red - wonderful, wonderful. Flavor, texture, body, even time, it is ready at twenty minutes, and better if you let it sit a bit, as opposed to 40 or more.
The company is Lotus Foods, El Cerrito, CA (near Berkeley)
