Great stuff and now on the “hot” list for good things to eat – i.e., dark rice. Has a great, unique taste. Recommend highly

Why are people buying the non-organic forbidden rice when you can get the ORGANIC forbidden rice for the same price? Lotus Foods Organic Forbidden Rice, 15-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12). Organic tastes better and is better for you. Lotus Foods lists the MSRP on both the organic and non-organic varieties of Forbidden Rice the same. When it is on Amazon offered by Amazon, it is at the same bargain price. When it is offered by Nutricity it is full retail plus expensive shipping. I think the organic variety tastes better. When I accidentally got the non-organic, I gave it to charity.

This rice has a light rich flavor that is a nice change from other rices I eat. VERY GOOD! The shipper mailed this to me very quickly also.
