Red Rice and Pineapple Rice

Red Rice and Pineapple Rice

Overview

There are many ways to eat pineapple. It can be used as fruit, in vegetables, and in baked pastries. My favorite is pineapple rice. There are savory and sweet versions of pineapple rice. I especially like the sweet pineapple rice. The combination of the sweet pineapple meat and the soft and glutinous rice makes you intoxicated before you even eat it and smell it! This time I used white glutinous rice and red japonica rice to make pineapple rice. The red japonica rice comes from the first choice of high-quality products---the hometown of longevity in Guangxi: Bama. The red japonica rice here is the best, the soil is fertile, and it is rich in various trace elements for the human body. The high content of manganese, zinc, and selenium is 40 times higher than that in ordinary areas. It has the effects of nourishing yin and promoting fluid, relieving troubles and quenching thirst, strengthening the spleen and stomach, replenishing qi, strengthening the intestines and stopping diarrhea, and is regarded by the locals as a longevity food. The portions of glutinous rice and red japonica rice are equal parts half. After steaming, the color is light red and beautiful. The rice grains are crystal clear and full, which keeps the softness and glutinousness and adds toughness. It is also decorated with pineapple meat, red dates, walnuts, raisins and pine nuts. It smells fragrant and tastes sweet when eaten. Adults and children will love it!
