Forbidden Rice with Cranberries and Pine Nuts

(4 stars based on 1 reviews)
Forbidden rice, also called black grain rice , is a special variety of rice which turns to a deep purple when it is cooked. It was once cultivated for the sole use of the emperors of China, and is classified as sweet and neutral. The combination of celery to help clear fluid retention, as well as vitamin-rich carrots and orange juice, is believed to help combat colds.
