Black Rice and Cucumber Salad
Black rice, also called purple rice or forbidden rice, is a relatively unknown superfood. It's packed with different compounds that promote gut health, reduce inflammation, and increase longevity. Black rice can be cooked on the stove the same way (and with the same water to rice ratios) that you would cook a pot of brown rice. You can also make black rice in your Instant Pot. Try adding black rice to your weekly meals—use it as a base for grain salads, serve it with curries or bean and vegetable stews, or serve it as a side dish along with baked wild salmon and steamed broccoli.
