\"riso<\/p>\n

The Alce Nero organic Nero rice we use for our recipes is a variety of brown rice. The grain is naturally black because the pericarp, the outermost layer, is the color of ebony.
\nGrown in Vercelli, Piedmont, it has exotic origins, having originated in China where it was known as \u201cforbidden rice,\u201d as only the emperor and his court had the privilege of tasting this delicacy.
\nThe plant has a long stem and a deep root system that, drawing nourishment from the richest soil layers, ensures better plant health and higher nutritional quality. For this reason, it is even more important to grow it in organic soil.
\nIts beautiful black color is a sign of the presence of a large quantity of anthocyanins, molecules that are very important for our health, especially for their antioxidant power.
\nLow in calories (100 g of black rice equals approximately 377 kcal) and very high in fiber (completely absent in white rice) make it a special addition to our diet. Naturally, like all rice, it is gluten-free, making it perfect for those with gluten intolerances.
\nIts properties don't end there, however. Black rice is also said to be a powerful aphrodisiac, and the Italian variety is also known as Venere rice, in honor of the goddess of love. We can't guarantee results, but we're confident you'll fall in love with our recipe...<\/p>\n
