Recipe Description
Black Glutinous Rice or black rice is unprocessed and appears black in its raw state. After it is cooked, it changes in color to a deep purple. Black glutinous rice is a type of black rice which is short grained and viscous when cooked. I was told that black rice health benefits even exceed that of brown rice. Black Glutinous Rice Dessert or “Bubur Pulut Hitam” is one of my favorite dessert and easy to prepare. The combination of black rice, red dates, longan is good to promote blood & “qi” which would improve circulation.
