Description
Red rice is an ancient and fascinating variety, known for its intense color, ranging from brick red to dark ruby. It’s appreciated not only for its taste and appearance but also for its high nutritional value, naturally rich in fiber, minerals, antioxidants, with a lower glycemic index compared to white rice.
Processing
Unlike other varieties, red rice is almost never refined, because it’s precisely its outer coating rich in natural pigments (anthocyanins) that gives it its characteristic color, earthy aroma, and nutty flavor notes.
Curiosity
Red rice is cultivated both in Asia and Europe (particularly in Italy, in the Po Valley), where local varieties have been selected to adapt to our climate and agricultural methods.
This rice variety is a conscious choice for those seeking taste, health, and variety in the kitchen: the ideal rice for those who love bold, natural flavors and want to bring an ancient, delicious, and nutrient-rich grain to the table.
