Wellwith brings to you an authentic and unique variety of black rice grown in the soil of Manipur within the northeastern region of India, where it is known as Chak Hao. This ‘forbidden rice’ gets it's signature black-purple colour from a pigment called Anthocyanin, which is known to have antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties.
The secret of the intriguing nomenclature, forbidden rice, goes back to Ancient China, where a black variant of rice was consumed by Chinese kinsmen for betterment of kidneys, stomach and liver, until a handful of noble Chinese men took possession of every grain and withheld it from public consumption. Black rice then became a property for the royalty and the wealthy only in Ancient China.
Black rice has the uncommon triple blessing of being visually pleasing, tasty, and healthy. The anthocyanin pigments give it a unique nuttiness with a hint of sweetness and a rich, complex flavour.
Additionally, these pigments are well-known for lowering inflammation and cardiovascular diseases. You can benefit from eating black rice in terms of heart health and general wellness. Also, it can reduce blood sugar levels. On top of that, it has huge amounts of zeaxanthin and lutein, which can promote eye health. It can protect against cancer due to free radicals which damage your cells.
Amino acids, antioxidants, fatty acids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and other phenolic substances are abundant in black rice. Black rice contains a mixture of important and non-essential types of 18 amino acids. Amino acids are essential to many bodily processes, from digestion and energy production to skin and tissue healing.
It also contains 3 times as much fibre as white rice and is packed with essential vitamins and nutrients like zinc and riboflavin. Also it has a very low GI (Glycemic Index) of 43 compared to the higher average GI of white rice and brown rice, which are 73 and 68, respectively. That’s why it is a better substitute for white rice for diabetic people.
Loaded with a richness of antioxidants, black rice helps in boosting heart health and supports eye health.
