So, what is black rice?
Black rice, also known as forbidden rice, is a unique and exotic grain that has been cultivated in Asia for thousands of years. It gets its distinctive dark color from the pigments in the outermost layer of the rice kernel, which are loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that are beneficial for overall health. Black rice has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor and a chewy texture that makes it a popular choice for salads, rice bowls, and other Asian-inspired dishes. This gluten-free and low-fat ingredient is also high in fiber and protein, making it a great addition to any balanced diet.
