What is Black Rice?

Black rice, often referred to as “forbidden rice,” is a highly nutritious whole grain known for its deep black hue, which turns a rich purple when cooked. This color is attributed to its high anthocyanin content, a potent antioxidant also found in blueberries and blackberries. Traditionally, black rice was reserved for royalty due to its rarity and nutritional value. Today, it is celebrated for its health benefits and versatility in various culinary applications.

Essential Nutrients in Every Grain

Anthocyanins – potent antioxidants that give the rice its black color and help protect cells from oxidative stress.
