Black rice isn't wild rice. Black rice is a real rice (Oryza sativa) as
opposed to wild rice which is from a different, unrelated plant (Zizania
aquatica). The black rice Om is talking about is also known as black
glutinous rice or black sticky rice. The bran on the grains is coloured
black - if you remove the bran the grain is white underneath.
