Black rice is high in antioxidants, including anthocyanin, which may support heart and brain health, and vitamin E, which supports eye and skin health and the immune system. Its antioxidants are both fat- and water-soluble, allowing them to potentially benefit multiple parts of the body. Black rice contains more fibre, iron, and protein than regular brown rice, and especially white rice.
Like other whole-grain rice varieties, black rice has a low glycemic index, meaning that sugar is absorbed more slowly, providing a more stable energy source and avoiding the spikes in blood sugar associated with other carbohydrate-rich foods.
