Black rice is rich in antioxidants.
Antioxidants are compounds that protect your cells
against oxidative stress caused by free radials.
They are important, as oxidative stress has been
linked to an increased risk of several chronic
conditions, including heart disease, and certain
forms of cancer.
Despite being less popular than other rices, black
rice is shown to contain the highest antioxidant
activity.
It also has been found to contain over 23 plant
compounds, including several types of flavonoids
and carotenoids.
