Anthocyanins in the bran give it a purple-black colour that deepens on cooking. It is traditionally called forbidden rice in China and is used in desserts in Indonesia and the Philippines.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
