Mexican Red Rice

Red rice is known for its nutty flavour and higher nutritional value. It is rich in fibre as it comes unhulled with the red husk on. The germ of the rice is left intact. When red rice is cooked, the natural red colour from the husk seeps out, giving the dish a wonderful red colour. Some grains are short and are very sticky while some of them are long grain rice. Since red rice is rich in fibre, it ensures proper digestion.
