A nutrient-rich whole grain known for its distinctive reddish-brown color, nutty flavour, and slightly chewy texture. It retains its bran layer, which provides fibre, antioxidants, and essential minerals such as iron and magnesium. It has a lower glycemic index than white rice, causing slower blood sugar spikes, making it a better option for managing blood sugar levels. Red rice is versatile and can be used in salads, stir-fries, pilafs, or as a side dish, adding both color and nutrition to meals while supporting heart health and digestion.
 
Originating from Asia, red rice has been cultivated for centuries in regions like India, Thailand, and Sri Lanka. It holds cultural significance in many Asian countries, often being reserved for special occasions and traditional dishes. Today, red rice is grown in various tropical and subtropical regions, including Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America, and is prized for its rich flavor and health benefits.
