## Features

- ROYAL HISTORY – Also called “emperor’s rice”, black knight rice was once reserved for chinese emperors and nobles for their exceptional benefits.
- LOVELY ON THE PALATE – Black knight rice has a delicious earthy, nutty flavour akin to brown rice. However, the pleasant chewy texture is more like that of white rice.
- HIGH IN ANTIOXIDANTS – The outer layer of black rice has one of the highest concentrations on anthocyanins of any food. Anthocyanin is an antioxidant, which is known for its beneficial properties.
- HIGHLY NUTRITIONAL – Black knight rice is high in fibre and higher in protein than even the other alternatives to white rice, making it the best choice.
- USES – This rice makes superb accompaniment to roast meats when tossed with an abundance of roasted root vegetables, or even enjoyed as a sweet pudding made with coconut milk and served with fresh mango!

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Epigrain Ancient Black Knight Rice
  

*by D***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2020*

This rice is delicious.  My mouth was watering during the cooking process because of the delicious nutty aroma emanating from the pot and then it was love at first taste!!!!

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Dyed Black Counterfeit
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2021*

This is very small grain rice dyed black; the water instantly turns black and is eventually re-absorbed in cooking. True black rice is long grain, nutty in flavor and does not discolor your spoon when stirred - usually from Thailand even though it was developed at Louisiana State University. Read the five-star reviews of this product, they all say some variation of ‘its delicious’, but none of them are descriptive or comparative - obviously many are bogus. Low grade imitation from China is a lie.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Healthy alternative to white rice!
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 26, 2019*

This product cooks up nice and fluffy.  Great tasting alternative to white rice. It has a slightly nutty flavor and doesn't get mushy.
