Why does Japan have one of the longest-living populations?
One of the answers can be found in this black rice.
Japanese black rice is a special type of rice that has been consumed by Japanese people for over 3,000 years. In the past, people used to suffer frequent periods of cold and hunger; however, this black rice was the super food that is said to have been their lifesaver, allowing them to live long healthy lives.
Also, this black rice has been especially selected for having achieved Japan's rigorous organic certification standard.
In memory of my deceased grandmother, we are now able to ship out this black rice to customers in the United States -albeit in limited quantities, packaged in vacuum packs to retain their freshness.
- ・This organic black rice meets the certification standard by the Japan Organic Association, which is equivalent to the USDA organic certification in the United States.
- ・Microbiotics have had a number of reports designating it as being effective against lifestyle diseases, atopy, AIDS, and other diseases. From within those, this black rice is known as a primary food that contains no GMOs or additives.
