Naturally Grown Fiber-Rich Organic 1KG Black Rice | Purple Rice | Forbidden Rice | Emperor’s Rice 1KG

DESCRIPTION

Considered as Forbidden Rice which was exclusively reserved for the Chinese Emperors to ensure their longevity and good health, our black rice has a rich, complex flavor, with a distinct nuttiness, soft texture and a hint of sweetness from the anthocyanin pigments.

The taste of black rice is very similar to that of brown rice and is often described as having a “nutty” flavor. It’s quite dense and chewy. Depending on the method of cooking, black rice can also be quite sticky.

WHY WE LOVE IT

1. Our black rice is a deep-purple, high-fiber and high bioavailable protein source that can be significantly helpful for those who are trying to maintain and lose weight. Moreover, it contains key B vitamins especially thiamine which helps in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Its abundant minerals in it makes a good food for immunity building. 
2. Black rice is naturally gluten-free. People with celiac disease need to avoid gluten, as it can trigger immune responses in the body. Thus this rice can be a good option for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
3. Along with Anthocyanins, black rice also has flavonoids and carotenoids which act as potent antioxidants. These antioxidants are the compounds that protect the cells against oxidative stress caused by molecules known as free radicals. These free radicals cause degenerative changes and affect the body functioning.
4. It is low in calories, low in carbohydrates and high in dietary fiber. It gives a feeling of fullness for long and keeps hunger pangs at bay. Thus it acts as an ideal choice for weight loss.
5. It plays a significant role in increasing the amount of HDL cholesterol in the body and significantly reduces LDL cholesterol levels. This reduces the chances of fat deposition in the form of plaques in the arteries and prevents problems like coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, or kidney problems.
6. Black rice can be effective in treating asthma by reducing the inflammation in the airways and mucus hypersecretion.

WHERE IT GROWS

Our Black Rice is organically grown and carefully cultivated by the Indigenous people in the highland mountain ranges of Arakan Valley (near Bukidnon), Mindanao.
