Thai red rice has a soft texture, nutty taste and chewy consistency. The delicious rice has long grains with a red tint. The rice is refined to take out the outer shell, but the bran or external layer is not polished off, unlike white rice. It is packed full of energy with vitamin B1, iron and loads of calcium. Thai red rice is available in many varieties. Thai red cargo is the most popular amongst Thai people. It has long grains and looks almost like Jasmine rice. Coral Jasmine red rice is another popular type which is semi-polished and has an earthy shade. All varieties of red rice are high in fiber due to its unpolished external shell. Thai long grain red rice Red rice derives its name from its characteristic red colour. It is rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, such as quercetin, myricetin, and anthocyanins apigenin, which imparts the reddish hue to the rice. Pleasant nutty aroma with a slightly firm, chewy exterior and tender interior. Also known as Thai cargo rice. Thai people are very much addicted to this type of rice; it goes well with breakfast, lunch and dinner. The added attraction is that it takes very little time to cook. The flavonoids and minerals present in red rice offer a gamut of health benefits.
Like any other brown rice, the bran covering the rice requires a longer cooking time and more water than white rice. Soaking for 2 hours beforehand reduces cooking time. Discard soaking water. Grains often split open while cooking.
You can then cook the rice with green vegetables and soft meat. For a tantalizing experience, try it with robust curries. The cooked grains are chewy and soft, and too tempting not to want more and more.

With Meishi, Chenab takes you on a journey through the Orient by bringing for you authentic ingredients for Cuisines from China, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia. Great for traditional Asian recipes made in professional or home kitchens. Meishi offers you Thai black rice. Thailand is known as "The Rice Bowl of Asia". With that, you can already guess the importance of rice to the Thai people. Thai black rice, Riceberry is one of the popular rice varieties in Thailand, a cross of two renowned rice strains in the country. Riceberry is a cultivar of rice that was created by hybridizing Hom Nil (black jasmine rice) with Khao Dok Mali 105 (another type of jasmine rice). Unlike most varieties of rice, Riceberry has a strong fragrance that's savory and almost meaty in the aroma. Because it's a whole grain rice, the bran gives it a similar texture to brown rice; however, the interior is tender, nutty and a little sweet. It's a long grain rice that has a reddish black color when raw, that turns purplish black when cooked. Because Riceberry is a whole grain rice, the bran and germ have not been milled off; however, unlike brown rice, it cooks in the same amount of time as white rice. The purple hue of this rice is caused by anthocyanins, which are a naturally occurring pigment and antioxidant. Riceberry differs from other whole grains – it cooks relatively fast and is prepared the same as jasmine rice. Riceberry Benefits: Thai riceberry or black rice is the new super grain that comes with amazing benefits, from power antioxidants to its anti-inflammatory agents. One of the anti-inflammatory agents present in riceberry is omega-3 fatty acids.
In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, riceberry is also rich in antioxidants.
A great way to use riceberry is in rice porridge or congee, a classic breakfast in Asia. Think of it as our version of oatmeal! Because the riceberry rice is cooked until super soft, if you're not a fan of the fibers of whole grain rice, you'll barely taste it in this dish!
