Riso Venere is an aromatic black wholegrain rice from Piedmont. As the grains are only husked and not polished, the dark outer layers and their valuable nutrients are retained. The rice keeps its shape during cooking and develops a pleasantly firm texture with a distinctive, slightly nutty flavour.
Ideal as an accompaniment to vegetable dishes, curries and fish, or in rice salads.
As the rice may stain during cooking, it is best to use a plastic or metal spoon rather than a wooden one.
