Royal Pearl Black: Black whole grain rice with a nutty aroma and impressive nutrient density.
What is black rice and why is it so special?
Black rice is a rare whole grain rice variety characterized by its deep black color and intensely nutty aroma. The dark color is completely natural and results from the high anthocyanin content in the hull. As unhulled whole grain rice, it retains all valuable nutrients: 10% protein, abundant fiber, and important minerals. 100% organic, without artificial additives or colorings.

How to prepare your black rice:
Preparation is simple, just requires a little more patience than with white rice. But you'll be rewarded with taste, texture, and nutrients:
In a pot (classic):
Rinse the rice briefly with cold water. Add two cups of water per cup of rice and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and simmer for about 30 minutes over low heat. Then let it rest for 10 minutes with the lid closed.
In a rice cooker:
Rinse the rice briefly, add it to the rice cooker with twice the amount of water, and select the whole grain program. After the signal, let it rest for 10 minutes.
Tip for beginners:
Black rice has a longer cooking time than white rice. This is normal and is due to it being an unhulled whole grain rice. The patience is worth it: the result is firm, al dente, and truly aromatic.
How to make it really good:
- Create colorful bowls with vegetables, avocado, and a dressing of your choice.
- Perfect with creamy curries; the nutty aroma and color complement each other wonderfully.
- Create a fresh rice salad with herbs, pomegranate seeds, and a squeeze of lemon.
- Serve on festive occasions; the black color makes a real impression on any plate.
- Combine with our Veggie Chili sin Carne or Lentil Dal for a protein-rich meal.
