The title of the article inquires whether black rice is the same as black glutinous rice, but in fact, the two differ in appearance and characteristics. First of all, in terms of color, black glutinous rice, also known as purple rice or blood glutinous rice, shows a purplish-red color, while pure black is black rice, and the difference in color between the two is obvious. When the two are put into water, you will find that black rice soaks up black color, while black glutinous rice is deep red and brighter.
In terms of nutritional value, both black rice and black glutinous rice are treasure troves. Black rice is rich in amino acids and a variety of minerals and trace elements, while black glutinous rice contains a moderate amount of fat and is rich in carbohydrates. In addition, black rice is known for its rich dietary fiber, which makes it not only helpful for gastrointestinal digestion, but also promotes blood circulation and enhances the body's hematopoietic function.
