Lotus Foods sent me a few samples of their exotic rices. I was delighted to find that the package included:

  • Bhutanese Red Rice- We tried the Bhutanese Red Rice the other night and it was absolutely delicious. This rice is a short grain rice has a great nutty flavor
  • Forbidden Rice- this rice is black which makes it so much fun to eat because the color makes the dish interesting.
  • Jade Pearl Rice- I haven’t tried this one yet but it is described as “When cooked, this premium rice produces the aroma of a bamboo forest, a light vanilla taste, and an explosion of health giving nutrients.” (source)
  • Cambodian Mekong Flower Rice- this rice was really floral and nutty
  • Indonesian Volcano Rice- I also have yet to try this but it sounds amazing: “Volcano Rice is a colorful blend of nutrient-dense brown and red rice. Reputed to restore vitality due to its high mineral and fiber content, the Javanese favor this healthy rice for its satisfying wholesome flavor.” (source)
