Rice has been a staple food across the globe since time immemorial. Generally, different types of rice, such as white,purple, red, brown, and black rice, are named following the physical appearance of the rice bran. The color of the rice bran differs due to the presence of pigments in the rice varieties. Apart from general uses like cooking and fodder for cattle, rice has also been extensively involved in the field of medicine, some of which have been scientifically addressed. Although pigmented rice varieties have a history of heritage and are admired all over the world, awareness concerning the benefits of consuming these types of rice is limited. The main theme of this research article is to define the scientifically proven medicinal properties of black rice. The health properties of black rice are experimentally renowned, and gathered empirical data regarding the physiological and pharmacological activity of black rice remarkably supports the use of black rice in nutritional therapy.
