Black rice and mango salmon rolls

October 8, 2019 | byVanessa Perrone

 

Ever heard of black rice? Also known as forbidden rice, think of it as brown rice’s cooler, mysterious cousin.  Black rice provides a delicious nutty flavour plus the nutritional benefits of brown rice (and then some).

Black rice is in fact more nutritious than other rice varieties, providing five times more fibre.It’s also high in anthocyanins, the pigments responsible for its dark purple hue. Loading up on these powerful antioxidants may protect from certain cancers and heart disease.

Black rice adds some drama to today’s recipe for salmon and mango rolls. All the components of these rolls can be made in advance for a quick weeknight meal.

    Thank you for your recipe, I suffer from IBS, to top it off I don’t have a gallbladder, which means that many incidents that you put in your recipes are banned from me, and removing them no longer tastes the same.I would be grateful if you put some, that those who have this symptom can eat.
    Thanks
