Black rice is a range of rice types of the species oryza sativa l., some of which are glutinous rice. Black rice has a deep black color and usually turns deep purple when cooked. Its dark purple color is primarily due to its anthocyanin content, which is higher by weight than that of other colored grains. It is suitable for making porridge, dessert, traditional chinese black rice cake, bread, and noodles.
