Why it is ours

A domestic colored whole rice that supports moving Black kitchens beyond refined white rice.

What it does

Colusari keeps its red bran, so it carries fiber, magnesium, and antioxidant proanthocyanidins, with a lower glycemic load than white rice. Whole colored rices support insulin sensitivity and lipid profiles. The bran pigment is the antioxidant fraction lost in white milling. Gluten-free.

How it is cooked

Rinse, cook 1:2 rice to water, 40-45 minutes, rest 10. Holds its grain shape and color attractively.
