Black sweet rice, also known as black glutinous rice or purple rice, is a type of rice that is native to Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, Indonesia, and parts of China. It is called "sweet" because it has a natural sweetness and a slightly chewy texture when cooked. The rice grains are small, round, and have a dark purplish-black color, which turns deep purple when cooked.

Black sweet rice is often used in traditional desserts, such as rice puddings, porridges, and sweet sticky rice dishes. It is known for its rich, nutty flavor and unique color, which adds an appealing visual element to dishes. Black sweet rice is also considered to be more nutritious compared to regular white rice, as it contains higher levels of antioxidants, fiber, and certain minerals.

In Asian cuisine, black sweet rice is commonly used in dishes like black rice sushi, black rice pudding, and various sweet treats. It can be cooked alone or combined with other ingredients to create delicious and visually striking dishes.
