Forbidden Rice

We finally took a trip up to Native Sun in Jacksonville & bought a few goodies; one of the goodies was Forbidden Rice or black rice.


Yes! It is very good *and good for you* despite the odd color. However you can read up more on all the benefits of the black rice here.


So, along with Forbidden rice, we also bought locally caught Mahi-Mahi & I roasted a ton of veggies & had such a wonderful dinner!


This really isn't a recipe post, but more of a post to show different alternatives of food that is available to you. The black rice has a nutty flavor to it, but it was so good!


By the way, don't the veggies look delicious?

And I managed to do the nutritional value on this meal & even though it is a little over 500 calories (320 come from the rice), it has no bad points - and 34% Vitamin A, 10% Calcium, 265% Vitamin C & 32% Iron!!!!

Bon appetit!!! Eating healthy can be fun!
