Bhutanese Red Rice

Posted on 01. Sun, 2010 by grace in Bhutan, Ingredients

Grown in the Himalayas, Bhutanese red rice has a nutty, earthy taste. When cooked, the rice is pale pink, soft and slightly sticky. It is semi-milled, and has the same high nutritional qualities as brown rice. Unlike brown rice, however, red rice can be cooked as quickly as white rice, in half the time as brown.
