About Purple rice

Purple rice, also known as black rice or forbidden rice, is a nutrient-rich grain originating from Asia and historically prized for its distinct color and health benefits. Its purple hue comes from anthocyanins, antioxidant compounds also found in berries, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. Packed with fiber, purple rice aids digestion and promotes satiety, making it beneficial for weight management. It’s also a good source of iron, essential for oxygen transport in the body, and magnesium, important for bone health and muscle function. Purple rice is typically used in Asian cuisines, appearing in dishes like sushi, desserts, or alongside savory meals. While it has slightly more calories than white rice, its complex carbs and additional nutrients make it a healthier alternative. Prepared without excess sugar or oil, purple rice can be a delicious and wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
