Black Venus Rice by Tenuta Margherita 500g - Venere
Rice
Brand: Tenuta Margherita
This medium whole grain, aromatic black rice is a
delicate alternative to white rice. It has a mild nutty flavour and
is ideal for preparing risottos (with cheese, fish and shellfish)
as well as rice salads and side dishes. Black 'Venere' rice
originated in China and was cultivated exclusively for Chinese
Royalty until the 18th century. It was introduced to the Vercelli
region of Italy by a Chinese expert in the 1990's. Named after the
Goddess of Love, it is said to have potent aphrodisiac properties
and is sometimes known as the 'Forbidden Rice'! Venus rice has
impressive health benefits, it is low in calories and rich in
essential amino acids, fibre, vitamin B, calcium, iron, zinc and
selenium. It also boasts one of the highest levels of anthocyanin
(a powerful antioxidant with many health benefits) of any
food!
