Lotao - Indian Tiger Umbra, Red Rice, India, BIO

DE-ÖKO-006 This red whole grain rice from India is cultivated by only a few locals due to the difficult geographical conditions in the growing area and the low crop yield. The rice also owes its red color to its growing area, because the clay-like texture turns the husk of the grain red, while the inside remains white. Rinse the rice briefly. Bring to boil with twice the amount of water. Cook for 25 minutes over low heat and simmer. This strong-grained rice is ideally prepared as a pilaf or rice salad, but can also be served as a classic rice accompaniment to hearty meat dishes.
