Beautiful food

Chinese black rice. It's actually a dark indigo-purple, almost too pretty to eat. Almost.

You do realize the Chinese use food coloring on their surplus white rice to cover the dark spots, then sell it to merchants at inflated prices, don't you?

As long as none of them are moving.

(My dad has refused to eat rice since his tour in Vietnam.)

Is it leaded or unleaded food coloring?

They are decades behind, but catching up fast.

My uncle hasn't eaten Wheaties breakfast cereal since the infamous "raisins" incident.

There are no raisins in Wheaties.

It is pretty, I had a package once. I don't recall as it tasted as good to me as regular homegrown wild rice or brown rice though.

Forbidden Rice. The fourth grade class reads a few stories about rice and then I present a "rice table" for them to sample as many different kinds of rice as I can find. The black rice and the red cargo rice are very popular for the boys to dare each other to eat.
