Taiwan's agricultural department has invented colored rice. It seems that young people in Taiwan are worried that more and more burgers and chips are being eaten. Since the traditional diet is healthier, they want to encourage the consumption of rice and for this they have thought that rice is more attractive.

Thus, they have created colored rice. To give pink color to the rice has been used tomato, to make the yellow curvina, a type of melon to make green and a mixture of vegetables for puree. The result is a rice dish full of color, more attractive and rich than usual. Now rice, vegetables and fruit are collected on the same plate.

They want to market it for next year and, although it will be twice as expensive as normal, they hope to succeed among young people.
