Black rice earned the name "Forbidden Rice" in the days of ancient China, where a black variant of rice was the property for the royalty and the wealthy and was consumed for the betterment of kidneys, stomach, and liver. Black rice is a rare and very old variety of rice that had been growing in Asia for centuries. Even today, it is cultivated in relatively small amounts, compared to other types of rice varieties. Our black rice is grown in the fertile black soil of the Northeast Plains of China, the largest plain in that country. The unique combination of geographical and climatic conditions of the region results in top quality black rice that are rich in flavor and better tasting than similar products grown elsewhere. In addition to having higher fiber and protein and lower in calories and carbs than brown rice, Black rice, being a whole grain, is worlds more nutritious than other rice varieties. According to livestrong.com, black rice contains similar amounts of zinc and phosphorus as brown rice, but is a better source of iron. A major difference between black rice and brown rice is antioxidants. Anthocyanin, a pigment found in black rice that creates its dark hue, is an antioxidant that may aid in fights against heart disease and cancer. According to the American Chemical Society, a spoonful of black rice bran has more antioxidant power than a spoonful of blueberries. The process of cooking black rice is similar to cooking brown or white rice. You'll need 2:1 ratio of water to rice to cook. A cup of raw rice will yield about two cups cooked, which would make enough for three to four servings.
