Black (Forbidden) Rice Cereal

Forbidden rice is a whole grain with a dark rich purple color, almost black. It has a slightly sweet chewy texture, good for puddings, desserts, and breakfast concoctions.

Black rice is rich in iron. If you have symptoms like pale skin, fatigue, irritability, dizziness, weakness, shortness of breath, sore tongue, brittle nails, decreased appetite and frontal headaches you might have an iron deficiency, in which case, this breakfast is a good way to begin your day.

1 cup cooked black rice
