Legend says that red rice was a gift from the heavens to the Amis people after Taiwan’s restoration, and it is also known as red millet rice. Rice cooked from red rice is called “Hahah” in the Indigenous Amis language, and when processed into mochi it is called “Durun.” It has excellent color, aroma, and taste, and is regarded as a delicacy by the Amis Indigenous people. It is rarely consumed in daily life and is usually reserved for weddings, funerals, festivals, or important ceremonial banquets.

Red rice differs from commonly cultivated japonica and indica rice varieties and is more difficult to grow, resulting in lower yields. It has a bright color and is a type of aromatic rice. It retains more of the outer bran layer due to less milling, preserving more nutrients—similar in concept to brown Job’s tears.

It is rich in protein, dietary fiber, minerals, and B vitamins, with fiber content approximately twice that of white rice.
