### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fine quality risotto rice
*by M***T on July 15, 2026*

perfect for risotto nero!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ No Directions, But Delicious When Properly Cooked
*by D***N on April 4, 2022*

This black rice (a.k.a. "forbidden rice") from Italy lacks instructions on how to cook it, and an online search makes things confusing since measurements and methods vary. Since I had cooked another brand of black rice in my rice cooker, I went with that method and some guesswork. I used the brown rice setting -- I had no idea which setting I had used before -- and it cooked up perfectly. The downside of using a rice cooker is that black rice is a lot messier than either white or brown rice since it bubbles up with a purple hue. Rising the rice beforehand helps minimize it, but it doesn't prevent it. I would have rather cooked it on the stove. The result, as I cooked it, was delicious. Black rice is healthier than white rice, and it makes a dramatic visual effect in a rice bowl. The flavor is somewhat nutty, and the grains separate well. I wish I knew the water to rice ratio and the approximate timing for stovetop absorption cooking (not boiling.) If the box had provided that, I might have given this rice five stars. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann
