A one-half cup serving of cooked black rice, or about ¼ cup uncooked, contains approximately (in daily recommended values):
- 160 calories
- 1.5 grams of fat
- 34 grams of carbohydrates
- 2 grams of fiber
- 5 grams of protein
- 4% DV for iron
Well, according to doctor Greger, black rice is healthier than brown rice, and red rice is even healthier than black rice, if you're going for the nutrient bang for your buck.
Thanks. I wonder if the iron content is from rice cooked in water? Brown rice listed here:
https://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/cereal-grains-and-pasta/5706/2
has 1.5mg of iron or 8%DV for a 100 gram serving. Raw rice - the cooked versions must all be done in water that is dumped since all the nutrients are lower.
I found some black rice at the store today, but it's already been cooked. Imported grains are either heat treated or outright cooked often in Australia to protect the growers here. That's unfortunate because if they have been heat treated they can't be sprouted .
