Hello, I know this isnt beer related but it does have to do with fermentation so I figured it would be ok (if not I apologize). My grandmother has been on a healthfood kick lately and she recently returned from mexico with a jar of the culture in the attached picture. I would simply like some help identifying it but the information I have is scarce. At first I didnt kbow what to make of it since when I asked what it was she told me that it was called 'arroz vivo' which translates to live rice. Upon closer inspection it appeared to me that it was simply a culture of some sort. She told me that the 'rice' must be constantly submerged in water and be fed brown sugar. After a couple of days the water is drained and consumed then the process repeats itself. The purpose is to cleanse the digestive system so I figured it was just a simple probiotic.
Any response is appreciated, just curious for info, thanks for looking.
