About Black rice
Black rice, often referred to as "forbidden rice," originates from ancient Chinese cuisine, where it was once reserved for royalty due to its rarity and nutritional richness. This distinctive whole grain is naturally deep purple to black, thanks to its high anthocyanin content, a powerful antioxidant linked to heart health and reduced inflammation. Packed with fiber, black rice supports healthy digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels, making it suitable for diabetic-friendly diets. It's also a good source of iron, protein, and essential amino acids, bolstering energy and cellular function. Unlike white rice, black rice retains its husk and bran layer, ensuring more nutrients per serving. Its nutty flavor and chewy texture make it a versatile addition to dishes, including salads, porridges, and stir-fries. While inherently healthy, moderation is key as overconsumption may contribute to excess calorie intake. Black rice embodies a nutritional powerhouse with historical and culinary significance.
