Rinse black rice well. Use approximately 1 cup rice to 1.75–2 cups water or broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 30–35 minutes until grains are tender and slightly chewy. Let sit covered for 10 minutes to steam.
Black rice has a nutty flavor and deep color that pairs well with salads, bowls, and desserts. It’s richer in antioxidants than many white rices.
