Black rice

Black rice, also known as forbidden or purple rice, is a nutrient-dense variety of rice characterized by its dark black-purple color, which comes from anthocyanins—potent antioxidants. It has a mild, nutty flavor and chewy texture. Rich in protein, fiber, iron, and essential amino acids, black rice supports heart health, digestive health, and diabetes management due to its low glycemic index. It also offers anti-inflammatory and potential anti-cancer benefits, making it a highly nutritious choice for a healthy diet
