Red Rice

Red rice is a type of rice that has a red bran layer and a nutty flavor. It's usually eaten unpolished or partially polished, and gets its red color from anthocyanins, which are coloring agents found in each grain. Red rice is high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including iron, zinc, and magnesium. It also contains antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases.

Red rice is more nutritious than white or polished rice, and has a higher nutritional value than other rices eaten with the bran intact. It's recommended for people with heart conditions or diabetes, and is popular with fitness enthusiasts because its high fiber content can help with weight loss. Red rice can be used in many dishes, such as pilaf, salads, or coconut curry.
