How to cook it
Perfect every time
- Boil. Bring 1 cup rice and 1¾ cups water to a boil.
- Simmer. Cover and simmer on low for 30–35 minutes.
- Steam. Remove from heat, keep covered 10 minutes, then fluff and serve.
Instant Pot? 1 cup rice + 1 cup water on High pressure for 15 minutes, then quick-release. Like it softer? Use 1¼ cups water.
Rice cooker? Same ratio as stovetop, about 35 minutes. Too firm? Add 1–2 Tbsp liquid and cook a little longer.
All cooking methods| Servings | Dry rice | Water | Butter or oil |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2–3 | ½ cup | 1 cup | 1½ tsp |
| 4–6 | 1 cup | 1¾ cups | 1 Tbsp |
| 8–10 | 2 cups | 3½ cups | 2 Tbsp |
Heads up: the cooking water turns a deep violet. That’s the natural pigment, not dye.
Why Black Pearl
More than just a pretty grain.

Love this black pearl rice
“The Black Pearl rice is delicious! I really enjoy the texture, and I appreciate that it’s organic. The one-pound package is a perfect size for a small family. I keep it in the refrigerator so it stays fresh, and it’s easy to enjoy the new crop anytime. Highly recommend!”
Wildly fantastic!
“This rice is a little better than Lundburg’s other products. And I wouldn’t have thought that was possible. The Lundberg products are exceptional!”
Would buy again!
“Great quality and consistency, fast shipping too!”
