The latest piece said that whole grain rice (like brown rice) had more arsenic than white because it's stored in the bran. It also said the worst place to get rice is China because they still use pesticides with arsenic. Our black rice is from China. I'm not feeling like eating it at the moment.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-202187466372832132013-10-05T11:45:04.636-07:002013-10-05T11:45:04.636-07:00I've never heard of black rice. That's a ...I've never heard of black rice. That's a new one on me. I tried pink rice recently, and it's lovely! It has a really mild flavor, and it cooks in only 20 minutes, half the time of brown rice. I'd be curious to try black rice to see how it compares to the two. It doesn't sound like you were totally in love with the black rice tortillas, but they'd be worth checking out for a change of pace. It's fun to try something different.Cadry's Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05019006252875213755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-8340363295492545242013-09-20T14:37:03.037-07:002013-09-20T14:37:03.037-07:00You should check the Food for Life Web site and se...You should check the Food for Life Web site and see if they are sold near you.

I th...I LOVE purple and that is a gorgeous color! <br /><br />I think I know the secret of the perfectly rolled wrap on their website. Think about it real hard, have you ever made homemade tortillas? When they are first made, they are pliable and warm etc... so easy to roll, when they have been sitting and especially the commercial kinds sitting on a shelf, in a truck on the highway, and finally waiting for a customer to buy them - they won't be so pliable and forgiving when days and weeks go by.Marie Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11892946038709995425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-61928477975676008722013-09-17T22:31:36.753-07:002013-09-17T22:31:36.753-07:00leftover something else is also my favorite.

I spent a lot of time trying to make them taste like the delicious ones we had in Santa Fe, and these are pretty darn close. <br /><br />I was thinking the tortillas might be good for quesadillas.

I just don't want to mislead anyone into thinking they're buying something that they're not. (Hmmm. I should add this to the post.) Anyway, you're on for dinner. The pot garden is way too heavy to bring, but I think you'd like the kale, etc. that I'm growing.
