What kind of food is this?
Dry black rice. Per 100g: 341kcal, 5.6g fiber, 4.28mg manganese, 110mg magnesium.
The blackish-purple bran contains anthocyanins, polyphenol pigments. Anthocyanins are plant compounds studied for their role in protecting cells from oxidative damage by free radicals.
Black rice's trait is adding bran-derived fiber, minerals, and pigments on top of the carbohydrate of a staple food.
Cooked black rice. Per 100g: 150kcal, 3.3g fiber, 1.95mg manganese, 55mg magnesium.
Because black rice keeps its colored bran layer, more fiber and minerals remain than in polished white rice.

In food-energetics tradition it is classed as "neutral" — a food that neither warms nor cools the body.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
