When cooked it is not sticky like other black rices and has a nutty taste and rich purple color.

 Black Chinese rice is a whole-grain rice with its purplish-black bran layer intact. In China, it's sometime called Forbidden Rice or the Emperor's Rice, since, as the story goes, during the Ming and Qing dynasties black rice was reserved for the emperor's use as a tribute to his longevity and health. In Chinese medicine, black rice is valued as a blood toner that helps balance the body's chi. In Western terms, Black Chinese rice's nutritional analysis is high in iron.

 Legend holds that Chinese emperors were once the sole consumers of Forbidden Rice, which also goes by the name "tribute rice" because farmers would present it as an offering to the emperor. Lotus Foods, the sole importer, first discovered it a few years ago in China's southwestern autonomous minority tribal regions near Laos.

 The rice was headed for extinction because younger inhabitants were migrating to China's busy cities and farmers were devoting their fields to white-rice hybrids offering higher and more profitable yields. Then the grain caught on with avant-garde chefs. Lotus Foods, convinced it could make the growing of Forbidden Rice profitable for farmers if it distributed it to restaurants, has arranged to have it grown by contract.

 In the West, black rice is most often found served with main courses.

 Legend tells us that this ancient grain was once eaten exclusively by the Emperors.

 Today, this medium-size Chinese black rice can be enjoyed everyday and is prized for its delicious nutty taste, soft texture, and beautiful rich deep purple color. High in nutritional and medicinal value, Forbidden Rice is rich in iron and considered a blood tonifier. Unlike other black rice from Asia, it is not glutinous or rough and cooks in only 30 minutes to produce a superior flavor, texture, and color.
