Illusory rice, Ancient rice
When it is cooked, ancient rice appears bright red like rice with red beans. It contains more nutrients of anthocyanin, a kind of polyphenol or minerals than white rice. So it is used for Chinese herbal medicine dishes. But it is hard to cultivate ancient rice and difficult to get them. That’s why it is sometimes called illusory rice. We use ancient rice cultivated by devoted farmers in Fukatani.
