3 recipes made with Thailand's famous riceberry rice

Have you ever tasted Thailand’s purple rice? It is a new diversity of rice called riceberry rice. Riceberry rice is a cross-breed of Hom Nin (non-glutinous black rice) and the fragrant Thai Hom Mali rice. The delicious riceberry rice is rich in antioxidants such as beta-carotene, gama oryzanol, vitamin E, zinc and folic acid. It is also high in fibre, which aids digestion and slows down the effects of aging. Riceberry rice is a favourite amongst those looking for a healthier alternative to regular rice.
