It has a high content of anthocyanins (pigments that give color to many dark fruits and vegetables such as:
- Eggplants
- Berries
- Grapes
- Blueberries
The bran of black rice contains large amounts of antioxidant anthocyanins, making it even more nutritious than brown rice, which is the most produced rice in the world today. Additionally, it is much richer in nutrients than white rice, as it retains the layers that cover it.
This is because white rice goes through various milling and refining processes that remove the layers, resulting in the loss of:
- Proteins
- Minerals
- Various nutrients
A tablespoon of black rice bran provides more antioxidant anthocyanins than a tablespoon of blueberries, but it provides a lower amount of:
- Sugar
- Fiber
- Vitamin E
