Pirurutong rice is described as being purple, but it is actually a brownish-violet colour.

It is very aromatic, and cooks up soft and sticky.

It can also be ground into a flour, which is used in making the Christmas rice cakes called “puto bumbong” in the Philippines (some makers now use regular rice flour with purple colouring added instead, either from purple food colouring or the addition of purple yam powder)

Cooking Tips

Cook in water until all water is absorbed.

History Notes

Native to the Philippines.

Language Notes

Sometimes referred to as black rice.

‘This special feeling towards fruit, its glory and abundance, is I would say universal…. We respond to strawberry fields or cherry orchards with a delight that a cabbage patch or even an elegant vegetable garden cannot provoke.’ — Jane Grigson (English food writer. 13 March 1928 – 12 March 1990)
