Red rice - nanohana - 100g

Naturally red, yuyake-mochi sticky rice is distinguished by its high fiber, tannin and antioxidant content, surpassing that of ordinary whole rice. It is also rich in minerals, including magnesium.

The Japanese often use it to prepare the Sekihan, a dish made from rice and Azuki red beans. Its color sometimes makes a choice for rice in Saké.

They generally consume it mixed with white rice in a 1/3 ratio, which enriches the mixture in flavor, texture and color. It can also be used in salads, sautéed rice or in desserts.

This black rice is cultivated in the prefecture of Toyama, renowned for the quality of its rice. The plains of this region are irrigated by the melting of the snow of Mount Hida, also known as the "Northern Alps". Thanks to its fertile and nutrient lands, this region is particularly favorable to the cultivation of rice, representing more than half of national rice production.
