Eat this for longevity! 🍚 Forbidden Rice
Fun facts … “Forbidden rice is also known as imperial rice, heaven rice and king's rice. In ancient China, this exquisite ingredient was exclusive to the emperors, who ate it for longevity and good health. It was forbidden to all but the most wealthy and powerful people, thus its name.” ~ Eating Well
“Anthocyanin is a pigment that's responsible for the black-purple color of forbidden rice. It's also been found to have potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects.”
👩🏻🍳 I think you’ll love this! It tastes kind of similar to brown rice, and it has more fiber, protein, & iron than other rice, high levels of amino acids, vitamin E, calcium, and potassium!
