Forbidden Foods' Organic Black Rice gets its name from history, when commoners were not allowed to grow the rice and it was a rarity only afforded to high-ranking elites and royalties. Today, it is more easily accessible, yet still harvested in smaller quantities. Thankfully, Forbidden Foods makes it easier to get our hands on this rice.

Gluten-free, 100% certified organic and 98% fat-free, this Black Rice is rich in antioxidants, has a high level of protein and a low glycemix index. It is also fortified with vitamins and minerals, and is high in iron and fibre content. Apart from being nutritionally packed, black rice has a sweet fragrance and a nutty taste – making it a sure option for a hearty meal.
