Organic red rice

Red rice is a whole-grain rice that is gaining popularity for its health benefits. Red rice contains anthocyanins, which give it its reddish colour. These antioxidants potentially help to fight free radicals, reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The high fibre content helps digestion, prevents constipation and helps maintain a healthy weight by keeping you fuller for longer. The low glycaemic index helps to control blood sugar levels, making them useful for people with diabetes. Red rice is a treasure trove of various nutrients and vitamins that are important for energy production and brain health. Preparation Red rice is cooked in a similar way to other types of rice: Wash 1 cup of red rice under cold water until the water is clear; soak the rice for 1 to 3 hours, This can help to reduce the cooking time and give a better result (the rice will be softer); Add the washed rice to the cold water in a ratio of 1:2,5 or 1:3, depending on the texture you want (if you want porridge, you can add more water if you prefer); When it boils, reduce the heat, cover the pot and let it cook for 40-50 minutes, or until the rice is soft. The cooking time is shorter in the pressure cooker, about 20 minutes; When the rice is cooked, leave the pot covered for 10 minutes, then shake with a fork before serving.
