ORGANIC BLACK RICE, "Ancient"

Experience the rich history of a legendary grain with OM Foods’ Organic Black Rice, "Ancient". This short-grain rice, also known as Heizhenzhu Black Rice, is famous for its dark color that transforms into a deep, striking purple once cooked. Similar to brown rice, it retains its bran layer, which contributes to its rich colour and nutrient profile, making it a distinct and visually appealing whole grain.

Black rice possesses a mild, nutty taste and a satisfyingly chewy texture, serving as an excellent alternative to white or brown rice in any meal. The bran layer contains purple pigments known as anthocyanins. Black rice is a source of essential amino acids like lysine and tryptophan, and includes vitamins such as thiamine and riboflavin. It also contains dietary minerals including iron and zinc. This unique whole grain is a vibrant addition to pilafs, bowls, and sides that will elevate your cooking and dining experience.
