Forbidden Black Rice 500gm
It is believed that in Ancient China, black rice, was discovered as being “superior” to other types of rice due to its rich health benefits and powerful medicinal properties. It is said that a handful of noble Chinese men, saw an opportunity in this and scoured the country and took every grain of black rice and withheld it from the public, controlling its production, severely limiting the quantities and selling it strictly to royalty, creating a huge demand. The common people were forbidden from growing or eating it, earning its very popular label – forbidden black rice.
