Black rice, also known as forbidden rice, is a nutrient-rich grain originating from ancient Chinese cuisine, where it was once reserved for royalty due to its rarity and health benefits. Characterized by its deep purple-black hue, this rice is packed with antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which are linked to reducing inflammation and promoting heart health. Black rice is a whole grain that retains its bran layer, providing a significant source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, such as iron and magnesium. It is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. While it contains carbohydrates like all rice, its high fiber content can support digestive health and help manage blood sugar levels. Its nutty flavor and slightly chewy texture make it a versatile ingredient in both savory dishes and desserts across Asian and fusion cuisines. With no added sugars or fats, it’s a wholesome choice for balanced meals.
