Details

In China this variety of rice has been known for centuries, but has always been reserved for noble tables, because it was rare and not very productive. Until the 19th Century it has been grown only for the Emperor and his court and, even nowadays, its cost is much higher than common rice.
Being wholemeal, the grain retains its ebony colour and smells really natural. Venus rice is suitable to accompany fish, crustaceans and mussels. Also great for risotto and rice salads.
