If you want to lose weight, I suggest you eat black rice. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black rice has the functions of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, strengthening spleen and warming liver, improving eyesight and promoting blood circulation, and can treat anemia, dizziness, premature gray hair and other diseases. Because black rice contains more dietary fiber, the digestion speed of starch is slow, and the glycemic index is only 55 (87 for white rice). The content of B vitamins in black rice is about 4 times that of polished rice. The contents of trace elements such as potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc and manganese are 4.4 times, 6 times, 1.7 times, 3.8 times and 1.7 times respectively. The content of lysine is 2-2.5 times that of lysine. In addition, minerals such as potassium and magnesium in black rice are also beneficial to control blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, diabetics and patients with cardiovascular diseases can eat black rice as part of their diet.

It is the best for cooking porridge.

However, personally, I don't think it tastes very good.
