Black Organic Wholegrain Rice

In ancient China black rice was nicknamed: forbidden rice. Only the emperor was allowed to eat this black rice. Nowadays, this black rice is eaten mainly because of the many vitamins E in it and the high content of anthocyanin, an antioxidant better known from blue and black berries. Forced rice has the advantage of less sugar and more fiber compared to berries.

According to Louisiana State University research presented in 2010, these anti-oxidants reduce bad cholesterol in the blood and black rice would be good for cardiovascular disease. The Forbidden Rice has a natural full flavor, typified as slightly nutty. When cooking, the color of this black rice changes to deep purple.
