Riceberry Rice
Riceberry rice is a fascinating variety that has gained popularity in recent years. As a nutritionist, I’m always excited to explore new and innovative food options, and Rice berry certainly fits the bill. This unique rice is a cross between black rice and jasmine rice, resulting in a beautiful deep purple color when cooked.
Thai Riceberry rice has its distinct purple color which contains Anthocyanin known for anti-oxidant properties. It is also one of the most favorite healthy rice among Thais because of its softness that could go well with any meal.
One of the most impressive aspects of Rice berry rice is its nutritional profile. It’s rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which give it its distinctive color. These compounds have been linked to various health benefits, including improved heart health and reduced inflammation.
In my experience, Rice berry rice offers a delightful nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture that sets it apart from traditional white rice. It’s an excellent option for those looking to add variety to their diet while still enjoying the benefits of rice. I often recommend it to my clients who are interested in exploring different grain options or want to increase their intake of antioxidants.
