Sweet Brown Rice


I'm learning about different kinds of rice. Junie brought a bag of sweet brown rice with her and we cooked it in the rice cooker this Sunday. I didn't realize it would be so sticky....but it tastes great! I've especially enjoyed it for breakfast warmed, covered with cream and sweetened with honey.

This rice is very popular among certain ethnic groups. It is also referred to as "waxy rice," "glutinous rice" and "mochi." Used for sticky sweets, snacks and desserts. Used in Japanese sushi. It has been allowed to mature to its fullest flavor in the field.
