One of the reviewer claimed that this is white or red rice overmilled and then dyed black.. anyone confirmed that this is infact actual Black rice ?

The packaging is different from the "Lotus Foods Forbidden Rice" I purchased. What I purchased was wonderful. I do not know this packaging. The packaging with the Fu Dog is what I would recommend.

I don't agree. The packaging is different but the same brand name. The size of the kernel is a different size. I ordered this and the flavor is totally different than that of white or red. The flavor is stronger and distinctly nutty. It's a nice addition to your rice choices.

Hi Sharon - you make a good point.I bought from here and my rice cooker is primarily stainless steal with a dark gray trim - definitely not a pure black. Hope that helps! We've been really happy with the outcome of our rice using this rice cooker. :)

Yea dude its black. They are very very tiny sparkly, jet black sand grains. Dunno why they put moon in the tittle though.

The rice is brown, long and thin. There were a few green colored gains in our bag. It also taste like basmati when you eat it. But I don't actually know if it's basmati rice or a cousin? Hope this helped.

Yes, all kinds of rice, white or brown, it does a pretty good job. Just follow the instructions.

Hi K. Dudley,Thank you for your post. This rice cooker only made a loud noise once and then never again.... I do not know if maybe something was just not put together correctly... but it totally fine and I love it! I make oatmeal in it every night on the timer for in the morning. yummy!

As of Feb' 15, Davidsonstea.com says this is an Indian Assam blend. Note that the description on Amazon says "A well-balanced traditional blend of robust Indian black and Keemun teas." I did not discover this until getting the tea. I was looking to try a blend with Keemun. It is a good if not great tea, and an OK value considering what my local farmer's market charges for organic Assam tea in bulk.

Not sure but what I DO Know is that the only rice that is natural is Wild Rice (long grain). Any other rice white, brown, black ect. ect. is a hybrid & contains starch. In the cooking process the starch tends to get sticky that's why white rice especially tends to stick to the sides and bottom of the pot. Out of all hybrid rice black rice is the least starchy but I would just buy the wild rice because the molecular structure is complete because its native to the earth (meaning it was found by man not made by man) Wild Rice is starchless (well at least the Non GMO kind)

It's white rice. No bran. If it had bran, it would be brown rice. I don't know if it was bleached. It's delicious, though!

I don't know where that strain was from.- Jon the co-founder has been finding unique strains and helping the villages get enough product to ship- this was the first huge success they had, now they have fields all over and are in mass production of at least 4 strains of rice. I would check on their direct website. you will love every one of the unique types but they are all totally different.

I would do it but not a large amount because it is Batsami rice is does tend to foam more as I cook it on the stove top and have to watch it closely till it simmers. Delicious and healthy. U will love it. Sure is not Uncle Bens Converted Rice! Had a rice cooker once a long time ago when I was making much to feed a crowd. Still 2 to 1 ratio. All we buy now unless I want to make brown rice or wild. Quinoa is great as well as kasha as an alternative to rice !

I honestly don't know. I am taking the label info as accurate regarding it being more like brown rather than white rice. If the label is correct it probably works more effectively than Dreamfields does with pasta, as the carbs aren't that much different from regular pasta's. I hope the labels are accurate, as there are certain dishes that work much better with white rice than brown.

I am sorry. I don't like rice. I never cook it. As with everything else I would just follow directions.

Yes, I am positive, the owner's manual has instructions for brown rice and my wife has done it. It will take longer than white rice. The cord is fixed and it is the current model. We also have had the older model for 20+ years and it still works.

I have cooked it same time as white rice as the amount of water the say for white rice but added a half cup more water. Zojirushi is the best rice cooker and lasts forever!! Romascatering, Roma.
