Forbidden Black Rice

Black rice was a valuable commodity in ancient China as it was grown in very limited quantities. This is why every grain of this crop was seized and consumed by the Chinese royalty and nobility, and its consumption by the common folk was banned. Thus, its alternative name ‘forbidden rice’ was coined.

The bran of (outermost layer) of the grains of black rice contains the highest levels of anthocyanins found in any food.
