Win a Hamper of Organic Vietnamese Black Rice

Wednesday, January 1st, 2014

Competition now closed.

Congratulations to winner, Iva Petrovic (London).

As part of our #FabForFeb month during January we will be introducing a new variety of rice into our diet and to celebrate we have three packets of Organic Vietnamese Black Rice to give away to one winner. That's a whole 3kg of rice worth £15.

Black rice is also called "forbidden rice" because in ancient China the rice was reserved exclusively for the Emperors due to its additional health properties. The colour of the rice comes naturally from high amount of Anthocyanins, antioxidants with a range of health benefits. With a nutty flavour with slightly floral hints, the rice retains a firm texture when cooked and also contains high amount of fibres, vitamins and minerals.

Thuy Pham, director at Birmingham based business BHMT Ltd is passionate about this first range of certified organic Vietnamese black rice in the UK because as well as being packed full of health benefits, it also supports the very people who farm it.

The company have set up their own fund to which they donate a percentage of their profits. This purpose of the fund is to ensure the sustainability of the organic rice projects and to help local authorities and charities in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam fight poverty, while also providing safe and easier access to education for local children.
