Red Rice Payasam

Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

The red rice gets its rich colour from an antioxidant called anthocyanins, which are also found in deep purple or reddish fruits and vegetables. The compound is believed to have properties that can reduce inflammation, allergy, prevent risks of cancer and help in weight management. The manganese present in it helps in strengthening metabolism, while magnesium helps in migraine and lowers blood pressure. Along with calcium, magnesium helps in maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Red Rice Payasam is a delicious sweet dish, which comes with all the goodness of red rice. The unique nutty flavor adds on to its taste making it irresistible.
