Buyer caution please!!!
I’m review for the lotus foods organic forbidden rice. Black rice is the most nutritional rich grain, particularly it contains a mineral call anthocyanin, anthocyanin are widely known for its antioxidant properties, very good for your heart and skin. However the black rice i brought contains very little of it. I did a small experiment by adding a few drops of vinegar on top of the black rice, if it contains good amount of anthocyanin the rice should release a good amount of reddish color in just a few minutes. But i see only very very little amount of it. Just like the picture i uploaded ( the few grains on the bottom- no red color). Anthocyanin are so precious i think the black rice’s anthocyanin were all being taken. This is very immoral. Black rice is one the hardest grain. Usually people need soak up the rice overnight. i did the same and the black rice are all burst open like the picture i took. The black rice were all being deeply processed. You make your choice, i’ll stay away.
