I went to Market Market to buy rice at my suking bigasan. It has been a while since I last visited and I was suprised at how much their store has expanded.
There were a lot more varieties available!
Not only were there more varieties available, they also came in various colors and color combinations!
I have yet to try these colorful B-herb coated rice. I never knew rice came in such various colors!
I would definitely be going back to my suking bigasan sooner than I planned.
What's behind the idea of coloring rice? To enhance the taste and appearance? Does it make them more expensive? Huling-huli na talaga ako sa balita LOL.
ReplyDeletebertn, it is also my first time lang to see these colored rice varieties...
ReplyDeletei havent tried them yet.. will do soon. probably to enhance lang the nutritional content... im not sure if there is added flavor...
ill let you know after i try it.
Wow! Interesting variety...to think I won't eat any type of rice other than jasmine...
ReplyDeleteyup, they did expand and improved their place... i love buying different kinds of rice variant there... :)
ReplyDeletelalaine, ive never tried any of the colored ones either... but maybe i will next time... it would be something new on the table.
ReplyDeletemikky, ill try them next time. which variety do you suggest i try first?
Those are just a few rice varieties, more than a hundred thousand rice cultivars exist from all over the world. I wonder how they all taste. Imagine, I've been doing a lot of rice research but I've never tasted any of them! The malagkit sungsong is familiar for me, it's really a traditional cultivar in the Philippines and has a gene I was interested in a few years back.
ReplyDeleteDo buy the colored ones and tell us all about it.
gay, ok, as soon as i get the chance, ill get a couple of those colored ones. they look so pretty kasi eh. maybe the blue and the green. ill let you know how they taste. ;-)
