The new word is that black rice is even better for your body than blueberries. "Just a spoonful of black rice bran contains more health promoting anthocyanin antioxidants than are found in a spoonful of blueberries, but with less sugar and more fiber and vitamin E antioxidants," Zhimin Xu, PhD, of Louisiana State University Agricultural Center, says in a news release.
Black rice takes a little longer to cook than white rice. It must be soaked in water for about an hour before cooking at a boil for about 35 minutes. It has a slightly nutty flavor and is said not to be that expensive.
It sounds like an incredibly healthy food to include in our diets.

Black rice must really be included in our daily diet to have those antioxidants in our body. It is cheaper and do have a wide variety of uses on our food. We can make flour out of black rice and mix it with other flour for our cakes, biscuits or homemade bread. Isn’t it wonderful that we can have black rice daily?
