Fresh rice a.k.a Pinipig

     
















Fresh young rice o.k. PINIPIG. I was waiting for my brother and his son to finished their biking time when a woman bringing a basket with green rice looking. The aroma was so enticing. It lingers in the air when she opens her basket. It is green and mouth watering smell. I find it very delicious .But I was wondering why is it green and soft. While the one I used to see back home is white and crunchy. This one is really different. They sell it 40 pesos for a small plastic can and 100 for a big plastic container. When I took a handful of it to my mouth it is tasty and soft. So I asked my mom about it. She said it the young rice being harvested and cooks. Others use pandan leaves to make it aromatic and green in colour. Another lessons learned about the dried pinipig I used to eat when I was young. For sure there are so many foods worth trying for.
