The black rice you just bought will turn black and red when soaked in water. Is it normal?

The water soaked in natural black rice is purplish red, and it is also purplish red or reddish after dilution. This is because the surface shell of black rice contains a lot of anthocyanins. When anthocyanins are dissolved in water, the color of water will change. Anthocyanin has strong antioxidant capacity, which is helpful to regulate blood sugar, lose weight and reduce blood fat. So, don't pour out the water soaked in black rice. This kind of water is also nutritious for cooking rice or porridge. . .
