Add dairy (milk, yogurt, sour cream) or fats to dissolve the heat,
Introduce acid (lemon/lime juice, vinegar) to neutralize it,
Incorporate sweetness (sugar, honey) to balance, or
Dilute with starchy foods (rice, bread, potatoes) or more broth/ingredients to reduce the concentration.

Customer Cooking Suggestion: If the product has more water than you'd prefer after 40 minutes, remove the lid and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Alternatively, reduce the water from the start to 4 cups.

About Purple rice

Purple rice (also called black rice) is a whole grain packed with antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which give it its color and fight free radicals, reducing chronic disease risk. Its high fiber, protein, iron, and mineral content supports heart, digestive, and brain health, helping with cholesterol, blood sugar, inflammation, and immunity.

Key Health Benefits

Rich in Antioxidants: High in anthocyanins and polyphenols that combat oxidative stress, protecting cells from damage.
Heart Health: Fiber and antioxidants help lower bad LDL cholesterol, raise good HDL, reduce blood pressure, and prevent artery hardening.
Digestive Health: High fiber content promotes regularity, prevents constipation, and supports a healthy gut.
Blood Sugar & Weight Control: Fiber slows sugar absorption, aiding blood sugar regulation, while its whole-grain nature supports weight management.
Cognitive Function: Antioxidants may boost brain health and cognitive function, notes Medical News Today.
Nutrient-Dense: A good source of protein, iron (for red blood cells), and other minerals, making it great for vegetarian diets and fighting anemia.
Anti-Inflammatory: Compounds in purple rice reduce inflammation, potentially protecting against chronic diseases.
