The Gran Nero rice, originally from China, is also currently produced in Italy in some areas of the Padana Plain.

Its grain is characterized by a strong and bright color, due to the presence of anthocyanins, the so-called color molecules that are present in nature in almost all fruits and vegetables, giving them shades of red and blue.
