Also: Is black rice the next hot superfood?
It's definitely tasty but it's not very common so far in the West. Having wider availability and more knowledge about how to prepare it could be good news for those seeking healthy food. The Independent:Black rice – revered in ancient China but overlooked in the West – could be one of the greatest "superfoods", scientists believe.The cereal is low in sugar but packed with healthy fibre and plant compounds that combat heart disease and cancer. It was known as "forbidden rice" in ancient China because only nobles were allowed to eat it. Today black rice is mainly used in Asia for food decoration, noodles, sushi and desserts.
"Just a spoonful of black rice bran contains more health-promoting anthocyanin antioxidants than are found in a spoonful of blueberries, but with less sugar, and more fibre and vitamin E antioxidants," said Dr Zhimin Xu the food scientist who led the research.

And now the not so good for you ... Deep Fried Beer
Mark Zable figured out a way to deep fry beer in batter pockets and will debut the results at the next Texas State Fair:“Someone needs to figure out a way to fry beer,” he thought.
Zable started experimenting. But the beer-and-dough concoction kept exploding once it hit the fryer. He kept getting burned.
So he consulted with a food scientist – still, no luck.
Then, earlier this year, he finally found the recipe for success. Now Zable keeps the process shrouded in secrecy and has applied for a Fried Beer patent and trademark.
