Can be used as medicine, and has particularly good curative effect on dizziness, anemia, gray hair, soreness of waist and knees, night blindness and tinnitus. Long-term consumption can prolong life. Therefore, people commonly call it "medicated rice" and "longevity rice". Because it is most suitable for pregnant women and parturients to replenish blood, it is also called "moon rice" and "blood rice". Emperors of past dynasties also regarded it as the treasure of palace health preservation and called it "Gong Mi".

Modern medicine has confirmed that black rice has the effects of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, invigorating spleen and warming liver, invigorating spleen and regulating stomach, benefiting qi and promoting blood circulation, nourishing liver and improving eyesight. Regular consumption of black rice is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of dizziness, anemia, gray hair, eye diseases, soreness of waist and knees, lung dryness and cough, constipation, dysuria, kidney deficiency and edema, loss of appetite, weakness of spleen and stomach, etc. Because the nutrients contained in black rice are mostly concentrated in the black cortex, it is not suitable for finishing. It is best to eat brown rice or standard third-class rice.
