When compared to the common white rice, black rice is 20% richer in fibre and 30% in protein. Apart from that, and when compared with brown rice, has considerably less fat, more iron and less caloric value.

Black rice is also a powerful ally for losing weight, since it improves the feeling of satiety. In other words, if we eat a small portion of black rice we shall feel like we had eaten a larger portion of white rice.  

Apart from these benefits, black rice is an excellent antioxidant, since it fights premature ageing and prevents certain diseases by increasing the immunity of your body.
