Its black color is a natural pigment due to the high content of anthocyanins, very important vegetable substances which, besides coloring the rice, contribute to counteract the oxidative stress.
We had previously talked about the importance of anthocyanins in black carrots’ article, therefore if you want to prepare a mush for your dog with black carrot and Venus rice, I would like to inform you that you are providing a superfood able to contrast free radicals, oxidation and prevent cancer and neoplasms.
In addition, for its properties black rice is suitable for dogs who are intolerant to some food, allergic or suffering from IBD, or intestinal inflammations.
It improves the immune system and delays aging.
