Oryzainds Organic Black Rice uses a variety of quality black rice. In the past, black rice was dubbed the Forbidden Rice during which only certain groups were able to consume this type of rice variety. Its black color comes from the colored pigments of anthocyanin which gives this rice variant its high antioxidant content. Oryzaind's Organic Black Rice contains higher levels of protein and iron than other types of rice varieties. The addition of minerals from Mount Galunggung's foothills makes the black rice the most sought-after rice variety in the world!
