Heirloom Forbidden Black Rice, 15 oz

Legend has it that this ancient grain, referred to as “longevity rice,” was eaten exclusively by the emperors of China to increase health and ensure a long life. Forbidden® rice is treasured for its delicious roasted nutty taste, soft texture, nutritional content and beautiful deep purple color. This medium-size heirloom rice is grown in the Black Dragon River region of China's sub-arctic Northeast provinces, and is a natural source of antioxidants (anthocyanins), magnesium, protein and fiber.
