Tastes great & it's good for you! This rice tastes and looks great cooked with onion, diced carrots and sweet peas and a little balsamic vinegar. What an explosion of color, will make kids want to try it. Peculiar nutty taste. Good to avoid excess bloating, highly recommend. April 14, 2013

Black rice is tasty This is a very tasty rice. It is nutty and chewy. Couldn't get enough of it. April 5, 2013

Excellent rice! I love this Lotus Forbidden rice. It goes well in any rice dish and has such an interesting flavor that it's also good plain. Nutty, chew-y a little, just so good, and if you haven't tried it, you should! January 13, 2013

A very interesting rice. Nice appearance, great texture, delicious taste. I like a lot of rices and grains; this is a nice addition to my selection. November 16, 2012

couldnt get the cooking time right on this. the kids did eat it but for four kids this is a one time package. its very small which makes it very expensive to serve all the time. if i could have gotten the time right in the steam it would have been less chewy so start with less than the normal time you think you need. also upon reheating the time bit that was left we found-this is really no reheatable for left overs.
