Forbidden Black Rice has a delicious nutty taste, magical aromas and superior health benefits that make it a new alternative to white and brown rice.
Black rice is a highly treasured rice variety originating from Asia. It has been said that in ancient China, Black Rice was amongst a number of foods that were set aside only for the Emperor and the Royal Family due to their quality or health benefits. No one else was allowed to eat these foods without approval from the Emperor. Life threatening consequences were for those caught eating these foods without permission.
Black rice is praised globally for its health benefits, which makes it the perfect rice selection for the best health return.
Nutrients are lost when the outer layer of any type of rice is removed during the milling process for making white rice. Brown rice and black rice are antioxidant-rich, but only black rice contains anthocyanins, the purple and dark red pigments that colour and add valuable nutrients to blueberries, grapes, blackberries, dark cherries, raspberries and acai berries. Anthocyanin antioxidants are associated with health benefits, such as memory improvement and decreased risk of heart disease and cancer.
One spoonful of black rice bran provide the same amount or more anthocyanins than a spoonful of blueberries according to 2010 study examining the influence of anthyocyanins on some chronic health conditions. The results of this research were published by Zhimin Xu, Ph.D. and presented at the 240th National Meeting of American Chemical Society in Boston. The antioxidants in black rice may help fight heart disease and reduce blood levels of "bad" cholesterol, which is low-density lipoprotein or LDL.
