Lundberg Black Pearl Rice, Regenerative Organic Certified – Full-Bodied Black Rice, Responsibly Grown in California, 16 Oz

Alright I definitely mostly bought the black pearl rice because it’s black and also called Black Pearl. But actually, it’s also really delicious! Chewier and nuttier than regular rice, it cooks perfectly in the rice cooker in 30-35 mins (turing the water red/purple!) and doesn’t get stodgy. Plus it’s nutritionally awesome, lots of antioxidants! It's a fairly small bag for the price (~$5), but has so far lasted me decently well. It won’t become my standard rice but I’ll buy this again.

Black rice is the best! Its so nutritious. Forget about brown rice.

Since this is a short grain rice, I tried this an equal mix of brown and white short grain rice. Trying this for the first time, I decided to follow the advice I’ve seen about pre-soaking. Since my intent was to cook this mix in the microwave, I washed and rinsed the rice until the water ran clean, then soaked the rice for 3 hours, rinsed again, added the appropriate amount of water (3 c mixed rice, 4 1/2 c water) then microwaved at medium (power level 6) for 40 minutes. Perfect! The rice came out soft and chewy as short grain rice should be. This rice is not inexpensive but is worth the price as it is higher in fiber (more nutritious) than white rice.

A great way to elevate a healthy dish! It’s a beautiful color and has a very satisfying texture. Will be purchasing again.

Expensive but really like this rice. Nutty tasting. I followed the directions on the package and turned out. The bag is so small (1lb) so don’t think I will buy it that often because it is expensive…. But I love that this is grown in the USA. Also this type of rice has a low glycemic index which is great for diabetes, and is high in antioxidants. Will buy again.

Rice with the outer bran so it's not sticky, organic, mild tasting. Prefer this good nutrition rice.

Very good! I can't really say how I feel about the cost at this point I will have to do more fact checking on this brand but overall $9 and the health benefits I won't complain one bit I'd rather spend $9 then $90,000 on a surgery because I refuse to take better care of myself and my family everyone loved it no one smelled it or turned their nose up I will purchase this over and over again! Went very well with sauteed spinach and a few sauteed prawns no one complained at all the aroma was not a big one but it was nice I did place mine in my rice cooker and it came out perfect.

I love that the rice is organic and that it is quite flavorful, I even like the purplish color. I would have given it five stars, however the "Best Buy" date when the rice was delivered was only 3 months. Not sure what a Best Buy date would be right after packaging at the company, I suspect the date is much longer! I feel duped! It also has a rather long cooking process, 35 minutes after the boil, then 10 minutes steaming. The rice is good though. If I buy this brand again, I think I will find in the store though to ensure Best Buy date and probably cheaper - it is quite expensive on Amazon!

muy caro, parecido a un arroz integral en consistencia (un poco duro aun cuando se dejo remojar toda la noche)
