### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best black rice!
*by P***O on October 14, 2025*

Best true black rice I've had. Not purple. Not brown. Tasty.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Takes longer to cook, and worth the wait.
*by A***E on December 31, 2025*

Interesting flavor compared to white rice. Has a mild nutty taste, a firmer texture. Enjoyable and different.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, healthy and tasty alt to brown rice
*by L***G on May 15, 2024*

First off, black rice is a great alternative to the more starchy brown, white, red rices. It has a mild flavor and great texture (never mushy) and is cooked the usual way in your regular rice cooker. But I wanted to add how beautiful it is plated and elevates almost any dish! I bought the six pack after my first pack and use it in every dish that could use some rice.
