Known as purple sticky rice, or black sticky rice, is a very attractive, deep purple color when cooked. It adds unique color and exotic taste to any meal. Typically Thai black sticky rice is served as a dessert, topped with sweet coconut milk. Here is a new recipe we developed after visiting a rice expo in Bangkok sponsored by the King of Thailand: Black and White Sweet Rice Dessert with Fresh Fruit. It can also be eaten any way you'd like: perhaps with mango or coconut ice cream or rambutan in light syrup.
