Black rice

Black rice is a special food in Qionglong Mountain, and many local young people have never heard of it, and it was not known to many people until "A Bite of China 2" broadcast Wu Zhentang's black rice.

Folk have long used basil, false konjac, mugwort leaves and other aromatic plants to cook rice to eat, black rice in Jiangsu, Anhui area spread, every lunar calendar on the eighth day of the fourth month, people use black rice leaves to cook rice, glutinous rice is dyed black, hold into a ball or directly put up to eat. When steaming, a small amount of white sugar is added to enhance the flavor, and the black rice exudes a faint plant fragrance, soft and glutinous, and is very durable. The older generation thinks that black rice has a nourishing effect and will like to eat it very much. Young people yearn for its simple ancient taste, so they deliberately go to Wuzhentang with an endless stream of tourists, eat a bowl of black rice slowly in the store, or drink some black rice wine and black braised chicken feet, so as to come to Mudu Ancient Town in vain.

However, after Wu Zhentang was broadcast by CCTV, as the number of customers increased, the production declined, and the rice was black and shiny, but it was not very good to taste the aroma of the black rice tree, and the taste was glutinous rice. However, compared to the vacuum-packed black rice sold in the store, Wu Zhentang's taste is much better, so if you go to Mudu Town to play, you might as well try it.
