Make colorful rice

In the forest, there are some interesting trees that can be used to make food and medicine. Only aboriginal people can recognize and know how to use them efficiently.

The two aboriginal men were given a little rice from a friend. They decided to make a special food which was colorful rice.

Firstly, they soaked the rice for 1 hour to make it soft and fluffy. If you browse through Middle Eastern cookbooks, you may find that they always instruct you to wash and soak rice in water prior to cooking. Putting more water in the pan or even steeping it overnight is the best way to flush out traces of the poison arsenic. The chemical contaminates rice as a result of industrial toxins and pesticides which can remain in the soil for decades.

Next, they found a bunch of specific leaves to create color for the rice. To extract color from those leaves, they boiled them for some minutes. Then, they poured the color water into the rice.

Then, aborigines cooked the rice for about 30 minutes.

The rice that was dyed by tree leaves had a beautiful and attractive color. It made my mouth water. You can see how they cooked this food at this video. Hope that you would have a wonderful experience!

Only aboriginal people?
You realize that there are tons of books and classes that teach people to identify and use natural foods and medicines found in nature?

Very cool! And it’s good to know that other cultures are able to adapt to their surroundings and create sustenance from nature. We in America can learn from them and develope more simple techniques to prepare our meals and interact with our fellow man without having to rely on succulently smoked cuts of animal protien, brewed drinks and competitions involving bags of beans thrown onto perforated boards.
