Has a nutty or seed taste to it which is really tasty. Very healthy alternative to white and brown ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best price per kilo *by V***N on 20 May 2024* Searching online for a low GI rice I came across a few possibilities, red, black and wild rice. Finally opted for black rice and this one in particular as the price per kilo was the best. Known as forbidden rice in days gone by in China because of its rarity, it was only eaten by royalty. We've just tried it for the first time - chewy and flavoursome (nutty) - it takes longer than white basmati to cook though that is not surprising - around 30-35 minutes but well worth the wait. We coked a mixture of black rice and long grain brown rice - worked really well. Add natural yoghurt and some soy sauce or maybe sumac to taste- delicious! ## Frequently Bought Together - Belazu Venus Black Rice 1kg - Riso Gallo Nero, Vegan Black Wholegrain Rice, Premium Gourmet Quality with Rich & Nutritious Whole Grain, 2 kg (Pack of 1) - by Amazon Organic Tricolour Quinoa, 500g --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/137152112-fresh-olive-belazu-venus-black-rice-1kg](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/137152112-fresh-olive-belazu-venus-black-rice-1kg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
