Unusual and delicious rice from Thailand. This rice is rather bland and noticeably fall apart, however, is a mess if he did not turn to observe precisely the proportion of rice and water and follow the cooking instructions. Quite a figure, but a bright purple color, quite soft, easily chewed, but not shapeless mass. If you want to get a lot of, it is necessary to add a little more liquid than specified in the instructions and cook a little longer. Then from this you can make rice pudding and other interesting dishes (but I'm not special, I know this is about the variety in theory). We eat purple rice as a side dish. Due to the softness and ease of chewing great kids. Love this rice, I buy it, too, all the time. An interesting point: in a package of purple rice mixed with ordinary white, but white when cooked risinki painted in purple, and they no longer distinguished.
