It is the rice with the most antioxidants. It is the most difficult rice to digest for some people because it has a dark husk. (The anthocyanins of colored rice are mainly found in the rice bran. The composition of anthocyanins in rice bran with different colors varies greatly. The anthocyanins of rice bran have various biological activities, such as antioxidant and immunomodulatory.) Most people mix it with other types of rice. I eat it plain. It is somewhat heavy for the digestive system compared to other types of rice. Personally, I only eat plain black rice because it has many antioxidants. However, it is a matter of taste. I would avoid giving it to someone else because it is chewed more difficultly.
