Nutty, aromatic black rice, ideal for gourmet dishes.

More Info

Organic Italian Black Rice is a whole grain rice distinguished by its striking round, black grains that carry a unique fragrance reminiscent of freshly baked bread with a subtle hint of hazelnut. This distinct dark color is due to the presence of polyphenolic molecules and anthocyanins, compounds known for their antioxidant and antitumor benefits. Rich in insoluble fiber, vitamins, and minerals like selenium, iron, calcium, zinc, and manganese, this rice supports healthy metabolism and may aid in combating oxidative stress associated with aging and cardiovascular health. Its flavor is notably nutty and flavorful, making it a nutrient-rich alternative to traditional white rice.

In culinary use, this black rice requires a longer cooking time due to its whole grain nature and is well-suited for risottos or as a side dish where its crunchy texture and depth of flavor can stand out. Besides its taste and texture, it is valued for its health-promoting antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which contribute anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Including this rice in your diet not only offers a delicious and nutritious meal option but also integrates functional bioactive compounds known to support overall well-being.
