I answered correctly. I may have read about this topic.

I guessed wildly, and guessed wrong.

My guess was wrong.

Black rice is sometimes called forbidden rice, because it was reserved for the Emperor of China, the health benefits were recognized even back then. It is not always easy to find and it is usually a lot more expensive than white rice. (Brown rice is usually more expensive than white rice, too, which puzzles me.)

Some varieties of black rice will turn purple when cooked. I must not have found that variety yet.

Guessed wrong,never heard of it.

I actually found some black rice in a T.J. Maxx once (on clearance), along with some red rice. I mixed it in with brown rice. Currently I buy Lundberg's Wild Rice combination, which consists of long grain brown rice, sweet brown rice, wild rice, Wehani red rice, and black rice. I usually use a half or a third in combination with brown rice, as brown rice alone can be a bit boring. I don't usually cook the blend by itself because these specialty rice can scratch the rice cooker's non-stick lining. Bob's Red Mill had a wonderful rice blend, but they discontinued it.
