Guest guest Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I am intrigued, WHAT is forbidden rice?  Sounds like something we might want to try to eat so long as not poisonous. My husband loves the Jasmine Rice but he was in the ines for 11 years and they eat only white rice there. They also washed it 3 times, for Father, Son and Holy Ghost. A restaurant here had the best rice and I asked about it and they said it was Jasmine Rice but they don't wash it before it is cooked. Itis sure not as healthy as brown rice or wild rice but that is what my husband likes and now is supposed to eat because of dialysis. It is the opposite of what a diabetic should be eating. Wouldn't it figure. No beans, no whole grains, no brown or wild rice. So forbidden rice sounds like something the royals had and common people weren't allowed. That intrigues me. It is like wearing purple. LOL. Carolyn Wilkerson  Carolyn Wilkerson yes I did cook them after I sprouted them. I cooked them with Rice, However the rice wasnt sprouted. Although I am now in the process of trying to sprout some brown rice. Will see how it goes... We are not in the process of trying to sprout some carrots, cellary, beets, onion, brown rice, & forbidden rice . So far this is our 2nd attempt at the forbidden rice. not having much luck with it. I read all the info I could find on sprouting rice and how long to let it soak for but both attempts seem to be to long. The 1st time we let it soak for 8 hrs, this was WAY to long as they burst by the 1st rinse. This 2nd attempt seems to be to long as well 4 hrs. less then half had burst so we are still trying to see if some of it will sprout at least but not counting on it.. as each rinse comes it seems more hav burst so we may give up on this one being it is so expensive for the rice and We are happy with the way it tastes anyway and the health benefits it already provides. Was just hoping to get a bit more out of it. has a recipe he did with the forbidden rice and the rainbow mix we sprouted that is awesome!! IT is so nutty in flavor I cant stop easting it till its gone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 If you are using the small gold colored package of forbidden rice, it has been steamed and won't sprout. Japonica (purple rice) can sometimes be found in bulk food stores, but I haven't seen it in years. Avoid Lundberg brand rices for sprouting-they have been treated and won't sprout (unlabeled treatment-used to be a great company but sold out to the big boys) I buy my japonica in bulk bags, but haven't bought any in a few years now, since it became so hard to find organic. > > I am intrigued, WHAT is forbidden rice?  Sounds like something we might want to try to eat so long as not poisonous. My husband loves the Jasmine Rice but he was in the ines for 11 years and they eat only white rice there. They also washed it 3 times, for Father, Son and Holy Ghost. A restaurant here had the best rice and I asked about it and they said it was Jasmine Rice but they don't wash it before it is cooked. Itis sure not as healthy as brown rice or wild rice but that is what my husband likes and now is supposed to eat because of dialysis. It is the opposite of what a diabetic should be eating. Wouldn't it figure. No beans, no whole grains, no brown or wild rice. So forbidden rice sounds like something the royals had and common people weren't allowed. That intrigues me. It is like wearing purple.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Ha!!!!  It is purple and that is why it is forbidden. Wonder if there is scarlet rice as it would likely be forbidden too. Both are royal colors. I haven't seen purple rice. When it is cooked, is it still purple? Is the flavor good? Is it more like a brown rice as to nutrition? Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 8:40 PM Subject: Re: Forbidden rice  If you are using the small gold colored package of forbidden rice, it has been steamed and won't sprout.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 That was extremely interesting. I may have to check out the rices the next time I'm in the stores. My husband usually does the grocery shopping. I buy too much. But he goes several times a week. Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 8:37 PM Subject: Re: Forbidden rice  Forbidden rice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_rice Reply-To: <sproutpeople > Date: Thursday, May 24, 2012 5:31 PM To: " sproutpeople " <sproutpeople > Subject: Re: Forbidden rice > > > > > > I am intrigued, WHAT is forbidden rice?

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Yes, there is indeed red rice...and golden rice...and japonica...and sweet rice....and glutinous rice (not to be confused with gluten like in wheat) Wild rice is not really a rice, but a grass cereal. Purple rice cooks up more of a dark purpley black color, but is very nutty and tasty!. > > > > I am intrigued, WHAT is forbidden rice?  Sounds like something we might want to try to eat so long as not poisonous. My husband loves the Jasmine Rice but he was in the ines for 11 years and they eat only white rice there. They also washed it 3 times, for Father, Son and Holy Ghost. A restaurant here had the best rice and I asked about it and they said it was Jasmine Rice but they don't wash it before it is cooked. Itis sure not as healthy as brown rice or wild rice but that is what my husband likes and now is supposed to eat because of dialysis. It is the opposite of what a diabetic should be eating. Wouldn't it figure. No beans, no whole grains, no brown or wild rice. So forbidden rice sounds like something the royals had and common people weren't allowed. That intrigues me. It is like wearing purple.
