Red rice is one of the healthiest types of rice. The fact is that this is rice, from which the shell has not been removed, and for the most part it contains vitamins, fiber and nutrients. In addition, the red shell has a pleasant aroma, so red rice is never completely polished. In ancient China, red rice was prized above all other varieties.
