Sometimes referred to as "forbidden rice," black rice is a nutrient-rich grain known for its deep purple color and slightly nutty flavor. It is high in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which contribute to its vibrant hue. Black rice is versatile and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, such as rice pudding, grain bowls, and stir-fries. Its chewy texture and striking appearance make it an excellent alternative to white or brown rice, enhancing both the visual appeal and nutritional value of meals.
 
Originating in China, black rice has been cultivated for centuries and was historically reserved for royalty. Today, it is grown in various parts of Asia and increasingly around the world due to its health benefits and culinary versatility.
