Taiwan's agricultural department has filled the rice dish with color. It seems that the government is concerned that young people eat more and more burgers and chips. Since traditional food is healthier, it wants to encourage rice consumption and to achieve this it has occurred to them that rice is more attractive. Thus, they have invented colored rice.
To make the pink rice has been used tomato, to make the yellow curcumin, a type of melon to make the green and a mixture of vegetables for purée. The result is a more attractive and rich colored rice than usual. In fact, rice, fruit and vegetables are collected in one dish.
The goal is to market colored rice for next year, which will be about twice as expensive as normal. However, a success is expected among young people.
