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

Black Rice Pudding
Found it a bit watery so I simply simmered on low to reduce liquid. Very tasty gor pudding

Organic Black Rice
I finally tried it…I absolutely loved it! Can this be stored in a cold room for a long period of time? Or how can it be stored for a long period of time?

ORGANIC BLACK RICE
I love this rice. It's my first choice when I cook rice.

Excellent quality
OM has always sent us amazing food and this is no exception. The rice has excellent flavour and thankfully we ordered lots. Thanks OM and keep up the great work

Best ever
I was thrilled to see OM sold this ancient rice. Unlike white rice (we don't use it) which is nothing but starch, this ancient rice is full of nutrient and proteins. It is on my automatic buy list.
