Organic Black Rice 500g
Black rice - a valuable component of a healthy diet
Old Chinese legends describe black rice as "forbidden." The term has no negative meaning in this case, on the contrary. It has long been believed that black rice has beneficial properties that have beneficial effects on health and ensure longevity. However, this was so difficult to obtain that only emperors could eat it. Today, black rice can be easily purchased in our online store. It is available at an attractive price and adds splendor to many recipes. It is especially well suited to Thai dishes.
Characteristics of black rice
This natural bio product is characterized by a sweet, nutty flavor and a beautiful, deep dark brown or black color. Such features are due to bran, which also contains numerous nutritional values. For example, they are a valuable source of antioxidants, i.e. ingredients with antiviral and anti-cancer properties. Whole grain black rice is recommended primarily in a daily balanced diet. It can also be used while losing weight because it does not contain cholesterol, has few calories, but a high fiber content and a low glycemic index.
Why should we regularly use black rice in our kitchen?
Black rice is also high in minerals and vitamins, especially iron and vitamin E. It also provides essential amino acids. Black rice is rich in antioxidants, namely anthocyanins, which are also found in blueberries, grapes and acai berries. It contains significantly less sugar and sodium, and much more B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc than its white counterpart.
A proven way to prepare black rice
Before cooking, black rice should be soaked for about an hour and then boiled for about 30 minutes in the proportion of 1 cup of rice to 500ml of water. If it has not been soaked before, it is recommended to extend the cooking time to 1 hour. Organic rice available in our online store can be served in many ways, not only as an addition to dinner, for example with meat and vegetables, but also as an ingredient in sushi and healthy salads.
