With its dark purple color, black rice is a cultivated form of wild rice and has been around for more than 9,000 years. Originated from China and spread to other parts of Asia and around the world, it is considered to have the highest antioxidant activity of all rice varieties and is a good source of nutrients, antioxidants, protein, fiber and iron.
Black rice is also referred to as Forbidden Rice and Emperor’s Rice, because during the days of ancient China it was considered to be so nutritious that it was reserved exclusively for the royalty to ensure their longevity and health.
Eventually, it became available for everyone and came to this day as a grain that is synonymous with good health and long life.
