Nutrition discovery: black rice rivals blueberries as source of healthful antioxidants

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

"In ancient China, nobles commandeered every grain of a variety of black rice known as 'Forbidden Rice' for themselves and forbade the common people from eating it. Now 21st century scientists have discovered that black rice truly is a treasure -- at least when it comes to nutrition. In fact, a spoonful of black rice bran contains more health promoting anthocyanin antioxidants than are found in a spoonful of blueberries, plus the rice bran has less sugar, more fiber and an abundance of vitamin E."

Just the beginning, folks, of a wonderful article about black rice. I've eaten quite a bit of wild rice from Minnesota down through the years, and it's great. Now I can't wait to try some black rice. Here's a link for you.
