\"\"<\/a>Bamboo rice is one of my favorite style of rices. I first discovered it at Whole Foods and picked some up because I couldn’t resist the green color of it.<\/p>\n

It’s a short grain rice and I was curious to see whether the green color stayed once the rice was cooked or it if faded away.<\/p>\n

I typically cook all my rice in chicken stock and this was no exception. \u00a0When I first made it, not only was I excited by the gorgeous green color but the flavor is really unique.<\/p>\n

It has almost a floral and yet earth quality to it. \u00a0It also sticks together making it perfect for dishes where you want clumpy sticky rice.<\/p>\n

Bamboo rice is green in color because it is infused with bamboo juice. \u00a0It is a short grain white rice and takes on the color of bamboo from the juice.<\/p>\n

Here is a description from Wisegeek.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Bamboo rice is not a specific varietal of rice, but is rather a short-grained white rice which has been treated with the juice of young bamboo plants. While milling the rice, the chlorophyll from the bamboo is added. This process causes the rice to be high in vitamin B, and gives it a flavor and aroma much like that of a jasmine green tea.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It does have a very unique flavor to it and I do encourage you to try it if you see some out. \u00a0Yes it can be expensive but for a little change up to rice, it’s worth the splurge.<\/p>\n

Also check your store’s bulk bins. I have discovered that my local Whole Foods now carries bamboo rice in their bulk section.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Because it acts like a sticky rice, it can be used when making sushi. \u00a0Gives the rolls a pretty color and makes them stand out just a touch more.<\/p>\n
