If you are trying to incorporate more “super food” in your daily meals, here’s a good one for you: black rice! Also called purple rice. This Chinese variety is a rare and tasty goodness. It is full of iron, vitamin E and antioxidant. Its high content in nutrients can
improve your sight, help you lose weight, reduce bad cholesterol, stimulate your cognitive functions, and help reduce menstrual symptoms. Impressive, right ?
Most of the time black rice is cooked in water, but you can also use it for a trendy-looking risotto !
Today we bring you a nice vegan carpaccio to go with it, perfect to feature on your Instagram feed and to treat yourself with healthy food. Chioggia beets are not only really cute, they also are full of antioxydant and potassium, which can prevent cancer. White miso brings a sweet cheese-like flavour to the cream, perfect if you are a
vegan or if you are just trying to reduce your dairy consumption. And of course, turmeric has proven its benefits to your body. Don’t forget to check our article about it here.
