Native to Asia, this ancient grain is characterized by its deep purple-black hue, which is due to its high anthocyanin content, a powerful antioxidant.

Its nutty and slightly sweet flavor profile makes it a versatile ingredient in various cuisines, from savory dishes to sweet desserts. Black rice is also revered for its cultural significance, having been reserved for royalty in ancient times due to its rarity and nutritional value.
