Pure Harvest Aussie Dream Organic Non Dairy Rice Milk is organic "Non Genetically Modified" rice milk made by the good folks down under. It's not "milk" in the literal sense of the word. I don't know why they call it that, since it's made from brown rice...
I bought this once during my uni days in Melbourne at Coles and I thought it tastes pretty good for "rice milk". I was surprised to see it at the import grocery store in Sibu and got it again to get my girlfriend to taste this rather interesting product that I've been telling her about.
Pure Harvest rice milk has all the buzzwords to appeal to certain segments of the consumer market - it's free from genetically altered products, has no pesticides, herbicides, added sugar, artificial chemicals, preservatives and is lactose free (since it's a non-dairy product). One interesting thing I noticed is that it's marketed as an "oriental product". Strange, I've never had it before I went to Australia. ;)
It retails for RM 6.95 over here, which is cheaper than the price I remember getting it for in Australia. Very interesting...
I don't remember if I've written about rice milk before but it tastes like...well, the water you get after soaking rice in it, with a little hint of milk. It needs Hershey's Syrup to improve the taste, but that kinda defeats the "healthy" attraction. It makes the beverage a contradiction of sorts. :)
