Black Rice 1000g - VIVIO

Black rice is one of the lesser-known varieties of the popular Chinese plant. In Asian countries it has been consumed for hundreds of years but was considered an extremely exclusive product. Black rice appeared only on the Chinese emperor's table, hence its other name "forbidden rice" - unavailable to the common people.
The seeds of this type of rice turn from black to dark purple when cooked. The anthocyanins contained in the beans are responsible for the specific color of the beans. These compounds also determine the unique health-promoting properties of this exotic product.
Black rice is relatively easy to grow. It requires similar conditions as the popular white rice. A rich harvest can be obtained without the use of artificial fertilizers and special precautions. This rice has a slightly different taste than the traditional one. Because of its sweet taste, it is widely used in Asian countries to prepare desserts such as rice pudding.
Regardless of the type or color of the seeds, rice is primarily a source of complex carbohydrates. However, black rice is slightly different from its white cousin. The starch it contains is made up of much more amylopectin than amylase. Because of this, this product has a stickier consistency when cooked. The total amount of carbohydrates in black rice is estimated to be around 75g per 100g of product.
Black rice contains much more protein than white rice. Scientists have verified the presence of 18 amino acids in this product. The total protein content is estimated at around 9g per 100g of beans. It also contains many vitamins and minerals necessary for maintaining good health, such as iron, zinc, copper, carotene and vitamin E.
Black paddy rice can also be a source of fiber. This ingredient is extremely desirable and necessary in a healthy diet. Studies have shown that its proper consumption stimulates intestinal peristalsis, lowers cholesterol, increases satiety after meals and is a nutrient medium for the natural microflora of our intestines.
Black rice is not only very healthy, but also has a unique original appearance. It allows you to create interesting and simple dishes. It can be eaten both sweet and salty. It has a distinct, slightly nutty flavor.
Black rice is a must in many Asian dishes. It is regularly eaten in China, Korea and Japan. It is a very interesting and extremely healthy addition to your daily diet.
