Our 100% organic black rice has a deliciously nutty flavour and is packed with antioxidants and essential nutrients, including iron, vitamins, phosphorus, and fibre.
Black rice is one of the richest rices in protein, offering 9g per 100g compared with 7g for brown rice. While many whole grains contain gluten, black rice is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for those on a gluten-free diet. It also provides a protein-, fibre-, and iron-rich accompaniment for those who tolerate gluten. Popular in Asian dishes, black rice is perfect for black rice pudding or as a nutritious alternative to brown or white rice.
HOW TO USE
Black rice can be used wherever you would normally use brown or white rice. It is particularly popular in Japanese poke bowls, stir-fries, sushi (great for lunchboxes to sustain energy) and black rice pudding. Cooking black rice is easy and similar to other types of rice. To prevent it from becoming sticky, rinse and swirl the rice in cold water, then drain to remove excess surface starch. Combine 1 cup of rice with 2¼ cups of water or stock in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 30–35 minutes until tender, chewy, and all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving.
GROWING & PROCESSING
