ORGANIC BLACK RICE, "Ancient"
SKU: G475-1
Hurry up! Sales Ends In
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

Nutritional product
It's better than Quinoa. I cook it in the rice cooker.

Black Ancient Grain Rice
I had never tried this kind of rice before but I wanted to try something new! The texture is a bit thicker than regular rice. I like it! Makes for some good variety. And it turns the rinse water purple, which is pretty neat.

So next level tase and nutrition
Everything went perfectly, I will be ordering again soon

Best rice
Cooked in homemade veggie broth with a little kombu and salt. Taste tested, then continued to eat straight from pan it was so good. Will definitely repeat.
