With a sticky texture and nutty taste, there’s a reason why it was once known as Emperor’s rice and was supposedly grown only for his consumption. Just as brown rice is healthier than white, black rice has even further benefits. Out of all three types, it has the most protein at 8.5g for every\u00a0100g. There’s also 3.5mg of iron and 4.9g of fibre. A study\u00a0in the Journal of Nutrition also found that rabbits fed a diet of black rice had a 50% reduction in atherosclerotic plaque compared to rabbits fed white rice*. It has also been considered that there are the same amount of antioxidants in a tablespoon of blueberries as black rice.<\/p>\n

With all these benefits in mind, this black coconut and mango porridge really perks up a morning – it’s creamy, nutty and the fresh mango provides a delicate sweetness and freshness.<\/p>\n

Enjoy something different for breakfast, such as this black coconut rice and mango porridge. It’s filling, fruity and fresh and easy to make.<\/p>\n
