OK long-shot info request:
Does anybody in my circles on here know someone who sells African rice (Oryza glaberrima, not O. sativa) on line? I want to add some to my cereals collection for my food class (and try cooking it!) but I can only find one seller on line that’s hyper-bougie and wants $50 for a half-kilo.
I know even if Africa it’s largely been displaced by Asian varieties, but it seems like it shouldn’t be *this* hard to find!
