Black Rice

 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 Louisianna 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.

     It sounds like an incredibly healthy food to include in our diets. photo credit:nebulux76 via photopin cc
