What is Korean Purple Rice

Korean purple rice is prepared Korean rice that has a purple tone. We call it heukmi bap (흑미밥) in Korean as well as it suggests black rice. Yet why do some individuals refer it as purple rice as opposed to black rice?

Basically they both imply the exact same point. The only genuine distinction would certainly be the tones of rice depending upon just how much black rice you include in your base rice (i.e. white rice) when food preparation. The shade tones of purple can be light to deep dark purple.

Though, it’s rather unusual to see Koreans food preparation with black rice just. Instead, we mix black rice with brief grain (or tool grain) white rice.

Generally, I adhere to the listed below proportion for my purple rice.

Black glutinous rice is likewise called black pleasant rice as well as it offers a stickier uniformity when prepared as well as it offers a somewhat sweeter preference than routine black rice.

Thus far, I have actually attempted Korean black glutinous rice (from a Korean grocer) as well as routine black rice (from my neighborhood grocer– Woolworth) as well as I need to state that I a lot favor the outcome I obtain with Korean black glutinous rice.

I do not understand what range this routine black rice is yet it had a somewhat off placing odor to start with. Likewise, the rice shade was lighter (i.g. wine red) than Korean black glutinous rice, which is close to black.

Likewise, the routine black rice I attempted really did not offer much “purple shade impact” when I prepared with white rice.
