This medium-size heirloom rice is treasured for its delicious roasted nutty taste, soft texture and beautiful deep purple color. Extremely high in a class of flavonoid antioxidants called anthocyanins, Forbidden Rice is also rich in iron and, according to Chinese herbal medicine, considered to be a blood tonifier. A striking presence on any plate, this once forbidden indulgence is now a wholesome everyday rice. It pairs beautifully with all cuisines - use it steamed plain, in a pilaf, stir-fry, salad or pudding.

This rice provides the richest nutritional value, providing a higher level of vitamins, minerals and fiber than any bran rice, as well as a comprehensive range of amino acids, proteins, vegetable fats and essential trace elements needed by the body. A new study shows that a spoonful of black rice bran or 10 spoonfuls of cooked black rice contains the same amount of antioxidants as a spoonful of fresh blueberries.

Forbidden Rice (Black Rice) (Lotus Foods) - Average rating 5 (1 review)  - Write a review Show Reviews Reviews (1) (0) (0) (0) (0)   April 07, 2013 Reviewer: Shirley in New York It is surprisingly good. I only cook 1/2 cup at a time. Won't be buying white rice or brown rice anymore. I use lots of herbal seasoning and onion and garlic to make it tasty. Haven't tried it with just plain water and salt, never did any food like that before, I like flavor in my foods. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No
