About Cooked black rice

Cooked black rice, often called "forbidden rice," is a nutrient-rich grain revered in ancient Chinese cuisine. Its striking dark hue comes from anthocyanins, potent antioxidants also found in berries. Black rice is high in fiber, which supports digestion and helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels. It’s a good source of plant-based protein and delivers essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and selenium. Unlike white rice, it retains its outer bran layer, boosting its nutritional profile. Black rice has a slightly nutty flavor and chewy texture, making it a versatile ingredient in savory or sweet dishes across Asian cuisines. While it contains more calories than some alternative grains, its complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy. Low in fat and gluten-free, cooked black rice offers a wealth of health benefits, but portion control is key where calorie content is concerned. Perfect for balanced meals, it’s a delicious way to incorporate nutrient-dense whole grains.
