With a much deeper meaning than just “cooked rice”, Bap encompasses a more emotion-filled word that recollects life and is often used for referring to an entire “meal”. Black rice has the highest overall antioxidant capacity and activity. In fact, in addition to anthocyanin, black rice has been found to contain over 23 plant compounds with antioxidant properties, including several types of flavonoid and carotenoids.

More than just a staple food in Korean Cuisine, rice has become a symbol of life and representation of prosperity.
