Brown Black Rice
color, taste, well-being.

Black rice is a unique and striking variety, known for its intense color, which can range from very dark purple to ebony black. It is a brown rice by nature, just like Red rice, and is particularly appreciated for its aromatic aroma, with notes reminiscent of freshly baked bread or hazelnut, and for its high nutritional value.

Curiosity:
Its origins date back to ancient Asian varieties, often called “forbidden rice” because, according to legend, in the past it was reserved for Chinese emperors for its beneficial properties. Today, black rice is also grown in Italy, especially in Piedmont and Lombardy.

Pairings:
Black rice is at its best in dishes where it can be the star: warm salads, cold rice dishes, ethnic cuisine, pairings with fish, shellfish, grilled vegetables, or dried fruits. Thanks to its elegant color and distinctive aroma, it’s also widely used in gourmet preparations.

Cooking time:
40-50 minutes.
