Botanical Name: Oryza sativa L (aka Black, Purple, Forbidden, or Emperor's rice)
Origin: China
Black rice is a dark colored, short-grain rice that turns into a deep purple color once cooked. Also known as "forbidden rice", it is considered the healthiest variety of any rice on the market, containing anthocyanins which account for its dark color and high antioxidant levels as well as essential amino acids like lysine and tryptophan; vitamins such as thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), folic acid (B9); and dietary minerals including iron, zinc, calcium, manganese, and phosphorus.
Qualities: similar to brown rice, black rice is full of antioxidant-rich bran, which is found in the outer layer of the kernel but only black-rice bran contains the antioxidants known as anthocyanins, purple pigments which are higher by weight than that of other colored grains and have been linked to a decreased risk of heart disease and cancer, improvements in memory, and other health benefits.
Common use: black rice's deep black color turns deep purple when cooked and has a mild, nutty taste.
Storage: keeps well in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark location

I love black rice
This is a good replacement for white rice. Glad I found it in bulk on this site. A lot of quality crops.

United StatesDisappointed with the Quality of Black Rice – Beware of Fake Black Rice
I was really happy when I first purchased black rice from Essential Organic Ingredients back in June 2023—it was excellent quality. Since then, I've been eagerly waiting for it to come back in stock. After receiving an email notification on November 22 that the rice was back, I quickly placed an order for two packages on November 27.However, when my order arrived today (December 4), I was extremely disappointed. The rice was completely black, almost like charcoal, which didn’t look like authentic black rice. I soaked some in water to check for anthocyanin color, but there was no color change at all. When I scratched a grain with my nail, the black outer layer came off easily, revealing white rice inside. This clearly wasn’t the genuine black rice I had purchased earlier.I am very disappointed and don’t want to open the second package. I’ll be contacting customer service for a return. The quality of this product doesn’t match what I had received before. !!! Warning to other customers: Please avoid purchasing this fake black rice. It’s not the high-quality product I had bought previously, and I don’t want anyone else to waste their money on it. !!!

Black rice has An immensely rich nutty flavor, and is extremely high in antioxidants. Love this rice!! It’s pretty much the only rice I eat these days. I highly recommend anybody who hasn’t eaten it before to give it a go. You won’t regret it!
