Polished Black Rice, often called “Forbidden Rice,” is a strikingly dark-hued grain originating from ancient Chinese cuisine, where it was prized for its rarity and nutrients. This short-grain rice gets its deep, rich color from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants known for promoting heart health and reducing inflammation. Though polished to remove its outer husk, it retains a mild, nutty flavor and offers a wealth of essential nutrients, including iron, Vitamin E, and dietary fiber. Unlike traditional white rice, Polished Black Rice has a lower glycemic index, supporting balanced blood sugar levels. Its protein content makes it a versatile and satisfying choice for vegetarian and vegan diets. While polishing slightly reduces fiber compared to unprocessed black rice, it remains a nutrient-dense alternative to refined grains, celebrated in both Asian-inspired dishes and modern health-conscious recipes.
