Nutritional Benefits of Red Rice

Red Rice derives its colour from anthocyanins — powerful natural antioxidants found in red and purple plant foods. As a whole grain, it retains the bran and germ layers which are rich in dietary fibre, B-vitamins (especially niacin and thiamine), iron, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. The higher fibre content compared to white rice supports healthy digestion and may help maintain steady energy levels throughout the day.

How to Cook

Rinse thoroughly before cooking. Use a 1:2.5 ratio of rice to water. Bring to boil, then simmer on low heat for 30–35 minutes (longer than white rice due to the bran layer). Can also be pressure cooked — 1 whistle on high, then 15 minutes on low. Use in place of regular rice for a nutritious upgrade to everyday meals.
