Black Glutinous Rice
organic black glutinous rice
When fully cooked, black glutinous rice has a dark hue similar to wild rice and is short-grained and sticky. Despite its name, it has a dark purple hue, and the American Chemical Society believes it is perhaps healthier and has greater nutritional advantages than brown rice. Glutinous rice, commonly known as sticky rice, lacks amylose, which aids in delaying digestion and decreases insulin levels in addition to making rice sticky. However, because black glutinous rice is uncooked, it keeps more of its other nutrients, making it a healthier overall meal option
