Black Rice with Capers and Hemp Hearts

This recipe was inspired from trying to make lunch on day when all I had was leftovers. I had a container of cooked Chinese black rice (also called forbidden rice), from a previous day. Forbidden rice is a staple in my Multiple Sclerosis diet. So I added healthy fats from the pine nuts as well as extra punch of protein from hemp seeds!

Further Food Commentary:

This recipe has a great combo of carbohydrates, healthy fats, and protein. While the major protein source here is the nuts, black rice or purple rice has more protein and fiber in it than white, brown or red rice, and also contains the highest amount of antioxidants of any rice. More specifically, the anthocyanin content of black rice is higher than that of any other grain. This is especially important for those with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), as anthocyanin has been correlated with a reduction in inflammation. The nuts used in this recipe provide protein in addition to healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which also help to reduce inflammation.
