I still remember when I was a young boy using buffaloes to plough the rice fields with my father and I noticed that the leaves on the rice were black. This was my first introduction to black rice as everything about this rice is black. Many people think that colour is added to the rice but infact it is naturally black. This pudding will be appreciated by anybody who likes rice pudding.
