What it is

Organic black rice, also known as forbidden rice, is a type of rice with a dark, purplish-black color. It is a whole grain, meaning it contains the bran, germ, and endosperm. The color comes from anthocyanins, the same antioxidants found in blueberries and blackberries.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic black rice for its nutty flavor, chewy texture, and striking color. It is often found in grain bowls, salads, side dishes, and as a base for main courses. Its unique appearance makes it a popular choice for visually appealing dishes.

Health notes

Organic black rice is a whole grain and a source of fiber, iron, and antioxidants. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers rice to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated rice and its components. Research suggests that the anthocyanins in black rice may have antioxidant properties, but more studies are needed to confirm specific health benefits in humans at typical dietary intake levels.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Rice is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
