Venere Rice 500g
Catalog Number: 65040 $4.99 Wholemeal rice - Venere Nero - For side-dishes, boild rice, and fanciful dishes. 500g
Obtained from the combination of an old and particular variety of Chinese rice, which was appreciated at the court of ancient Chinese emperors for its nutritional and aphrodisiac properties, (from which the name of forbidden rice derives), today it is grown in particular areas of the Po valley. The Venere rice boasts extraordinary nutritional properties: rich in fiber and phosphorus, it also contains such minerals as calcium, iron, zinc, and selenium. This whole meal rice is pleasantly aromatic, and when it is cooked (which takes 40 minutes), it releases a particular aroma midway between sandalwood and just-baked bread. It owes its naturally black color to the particular pigmentation of the pericarp (the light skin that covers the grain), while the inside of the grain is white like in all other rice varieties. After cooking, the grain maintains its compactness, and is well separated. It is ideal as a side-dish to meat or fish; it can be simply boiled in salt water and seasoned with oil or butter, or cooked as pilaf.
