Do you need to soak black rice?
Online Answer
Like other unmilled, unprocessed rice, the black variety takes longer to cook than traditional white rice (yup, get over it). It should also ideally be stored in the fridge and used within three months, to prevent spoilage. Rinsing and soaking the rice before cooking will help to bring the cooking time down.
