Current batch milled and packed March 2024 GMO vs seed saving We are in favor of heirloom seeds and don't grow GMO. Seed ownership by farmers, and therefore securing biodiversity cannot be underestimated. One of our objectives is to only select farmers who have been following this traditional practice over a longer period of time. Note that since 2008 the Thai government and the academic world pledged to keep Thai rice GMO free. As a result GMO rice can neither be grown nor exported.

Mind that vacuum packing is something additional we like to offer (in order to extend shelf life passed 18 months). If a bag has lost its vacuum during transportation - it rarely happens but still we can't 100% avoid this - then treat the bag as a regular, non vacuum packed bag, and follow the expiration date which is set to 18 months after the packing date. choose Ship in Amazon packaging at checkout for optimal protection during transportation Storage and vacuum packing The added value of vacuum packing In the shorter term, vacuum vs non-vacuum packing won't make such a difference; especially since the rice is young and fresh. Vacuum packing extends shelf life though and helps black rice to hold up to 3 years easily. Note that non-vacuum packed rice can be stored for around 18 months. vacuum packed black rice can be stored up to 3 years regular, non vacuum packed black rice can be stored for around 18 months store dry and cool (to keep moisture levels under control) close the bag every time after opening Why black? Is black rice milled? Gluten-free? First question, similar to blueberries, sweet potato and poppy flowers, it's ANTHOCYANIN (part of a family of plant pigments and a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory) that colors rice black-purple-reddish. Second, yes, black rice is partially milled: only the outer, inedible layer is removed (='husked' rice). Therefore, black rice is a WHOLE GRAIN with all nutrient-dense parts of the grain kernel preserved. Last, rice contains NO GLUTEN and is an excellent starch for anyone with gluten allergy or sensitivity such as celiac disease. Why soaking and cooking colors water black-reddish? Anthocyanin is WATER-SOLVABLE, therefore mixes with water. Simple as that. Note that anthocyanin is stored in the bran, a layer on the outside of the grain (in nature pigment is always located on the outer layers). The core of the grain contains the brown-whitish macro-nutrients (carbs, protein). What about the vinegar test? Find out whether your rice is real and not dyed after harvesting. Easy to do with vinegar and a couple of minutes of your time. A little explanation: anthocyanin (see 'why black?') is a pH INDICATOR, a molecule that when mixed with an acid, colors the solution reddish. Vinegar is such an acid solvent and therefore 'the vinegar test' is considered the GOLDEN STANDARD (AT HOME) to verify the authenticity of any colored rice variety. Dissolve some black rice in vinegar and in 3-5min the solution will color red. LET'S COOK BLACK RICE. Suggestions on rice-to-water ratio. Cooking time and instructions Most common question asked, how much water does black rice need to boil? You may have a ratio that has been working out well for you, but here what we feel gives that ideal 'chewiness', not too hard, not moist either. First absorption Rice needs to absorb water in a 1:1 ratio. Simple. So, if you triple your batch of rice, then triple the volume of water. Then, evaporation While rice is being boiled some extra water evaporates, so you have to compensate this loss by adding 'some extra' water at start. This is a FIXED volume and depends on your cooking equipment. To find out the exact volume, cook first 1 cup of rice with 1 cup of water. Taste and most likely you will find more water is needed. Do so by adding 1/4 cup of water, cover and simmer until all water is gone. Taste again. Repeat this cycle until you got the texture just perfect - probably between 1/4 to 3/4 of a cup. Next time, go with a rice-to-water ratio of 1:1 and add this exact amount of water for evaporation. On a stove/with a pot Bring rice and water to a boil for 5min (use the same cup to measure water volume). Cover and simmer (medium-low heat), for 25 min. Fluff the rice and simmer for another 5 min. Turn off the heat, keep covered with lid and let the rice stand for 15 min so the grains can firm up. With a rice cooker We have been asked what's better: a rice cooker or a pot? We feel rice is tastier when using a pot, but a rice cooker works just fine, and that's what we - and most people in Thailand - use most of the time. It's so easy, just follow your rice cooker's rice-to-water ratio recommendation and once ready, the rice cooker will shut itself off while the rice is kept warm!
