About Korean purple rice

Korean Purple Rice, also known as "heukmi-bap," is a nutrient-packed blend of white rice and black or forbidden rice, which gives it its distinctive purple hue when cooked. Originating in Korean cuisine, this vibrant dish is both visually appealing and rich in health benefits. Purple rice is a source of antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which are linked to anti-inflammatory properties and improved heart health. It also provides dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting satiety. Additionally, it contains essential minerals such as iron and magnesium, along with a moderate amount of protein. Compared to plain white rice, it has a lower glycemic index, making it a healthier option for blood sugar management. While it is slightly higher in calories than white rice, its nutrient density and complex carbohydrates make it a wholesome addition to meals, complementing various Korean side dishes and stews.
