Organic Italian Black Rice

Ingredients: Organic Black Rice

Origin: Italy

Our Organic Italian Black Rice is dark and nutty.

Organic Italian Black Rice is higher in protein and dietary fibre than other rice varieties so is a popular choice. This is a medium whole grain rice and deep black in colour.

One 195g serving of cooked black rice is high in Manganese, Selenium and a source of Thiamin B1, Niacin (B3), Pyridoxine (B6) and Magnesium.

Black rice is fragrant and aromatic which makes it a great rice to try in summer recipes such as rice salads and tabbouleh style dishes.  It also goes well with curries for added colour and texture.  You can combine black rice with other rices or grains for further texture and flavour.

If you interested in other speciality rices try our organic brown jasmine rice, organic wild rice, organic white basmati rice, organic brown basmati rice and organic red rice.

Packaging

Most of our bulk products, 1kg or over are packed in polyethylene which is fully recyclable with the supermarket carrier bag scheme. There is a little tip on the corner of our labels which recommends to peel off the label before recycling. Another way to to identify these bags is to stretch them slightly (if they stretch then recycle them at any local carrier bag scheme).
