I had never come across Red Rice before, so I did a google search and found this. Red rice is a special variety of rice that looks red in color, thanks to its anthocyanin content. It is generally unhulled or partially hulled rice which has a red husk, rather than the much more common brown. Red rice has a nutty flavor, and a high nutritional value, as the germ of the rice is left intact. It is mostly available in natural, organic and health food stores, and also through Amazon and other online retailers. Red rice may refer to: Red rice, also known as weedy rice, a low-yielding rice variety that persists as a weed in fields of better-quality rice Rakthashali, a rare rice variety Thai Red Cargo rice, a non-glutinous long grain rice variety Bhutanese red rice, a medium-grain rice grown in the Kingdom of Bhutan in the eastern Himalayas Camargue red rice, a relatively new variety of rice cultivated in the wetlands of the Camargue region of southern France Red Rice, Hampshire, a small hamlet just south-west of Andover, Hampshire, England Red Rice, a traditional Gullah Lowcountry dish, similar to West African jollof rice. There are 140 thousand types of rice in the world and the Int. bank for rice strains owns 90 thousands types (used only for researches and studies). However, the famous types, which are cultivated in most of the countries, are 19 types only. The top 5 types of rice are: white rice, brown rice, yellow rice, and black rice. Happy cooking and eating rice... know your rice, be adventurous and cook wild rice, red na olgeta kainkain colours :)
