What is Riceberry?

Riceberry is a crossbreed of Jao Hom Nin and Khao Dawk Mali 105. Although it is a brown rice, the grains are dark purple and have a long shape. When cooked, they become soft and aromatic. The smell is similar to that of black sticky rice. It typically sells for two to three times the price of white rice.

The cooking process is the same as with red rice. Use 1 1/2 cups of water to 1 cup of riceberry. If you have time, leave the rice soak in the water for an hour before cooking.
