Rice In Color

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.

  1. 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.

  6. 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.

    Do buy the colored ones and tell us all about it.
