Originally from China, it is now also grown in Italy, in the Po River valley. According to legend, it was highly prized by the ancient Chinese emperors for its flavor and as an aphrodisiac (which is where its name comes from). Venere rice has remarkable nutritional qualities: it is rich in dietary fiber and phosphorus and contains a number of minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc. It is a fragrant, diet-friendly rice that cooks in just 18 minutes, with a distinctive aroma of sandalwood and freshly baked bread. Its characteristic black color comes from the special pigmentation of the grain’s outer layer, while its core is white like other rice varieties. It has a small grain, no larger than 4mm. It makes an excellent side dish for meat and fish. It is easy to prepare: boil it in salted water with a little oil or butter. Ideal for making pilaf.
