À propos de cet ingrédient
Ancient red-pigmented rice variety, historically the original Japanese rice before whitening cultivars dominated. Limited contemporary cultivation in Tsushima (Nagasaki), Tanegashima (Kagoshima), and pockets of Okayama. Often used in ceremonial rice-blends (akagohan), and increasingly as a niche functional-food and storytelling ingredient for export retail. Tannin and proanthocyanidin content distinguishes red rice from black rice (anthocyanin-driven) and white rice. Distinct from kuromai-black-rice and existing rice entries.
