Organic Rice

Black Rice: Forbidden Rice

Forbidden many, many years ago, this was the rice of emperors in Ancient China. But it’s not so forbidden today and we are proud to include it as one of our special rice varieties.

Organic black rice is an heirloom variety rich in dietary fiber, iron, zinc and antioxidants. Aside from its many health benefits, it also has an interesting sweet, nutty flavor.

This variety is grown by small farmers committed to good health, quality foods, ethical fair trade and eco-friendly sustainable farming practices.

Also known as “forbidden rice” because in the earlier eras of Chinese and Japanese history, only the emperors could eat this kind
