Yellow, green and purpleTaiwanese researchers have found a way to produce colored rice to keep kids from shifting their tastes to the Big Mac. So far they have come up with four colors: yellow from treating plain rice with turmeric, an ingredient in curry; green from bitter gourd, pink from tomato and purple from a mix of vegetables.
The new rice is expected to cost about twice as much as regular rice and be available commercially next year. The researchers hope to one day achieve fourteen different colors so people have more varieties to choose from -- a color a day for two weeks. I hope they include flavors of pork fried rice and fried rice with chicken and prawns, grown straight out of the ground. I'll be happy to pay triple.
