About Black forbidden rice
Wikipedia Article About Black forbidden rice on Wikipedia

Black rice is one of several black-colored heirloom plants producing rice variants such as Indonesian Black Rice, forbidden rice, or wild rice. 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. This grain is high in fiber and has a deep, nutty taste. The deep color of black forbidden rice suggests the presence of phytonutrients. It has a relatively high mineral content (including iron) and, like most rice, supplies several important amino acids.

It was enjoyed at the court of the ancient Chinese emperors for its nutritional properties and as an aphrodisiac (hence the name forbidden rice). Most references say that it was reserved for the Emperor’s table, and since it’s considered an aphrodisiac, it was probably shared with the emperor’s consorts, as well as other members of his family and the court at his discretion.
