Black rice is available on the menu of more and more restaurants, and black sesame is an ingredient in various biscuits, cereals and even ice cream. 
 
The dark color of some products is due to the natural plant pigments anthocyanins.
 
Studies show that anthocyanins have anti-inflammatory properties and protect against the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer. A study from Ohio State University found that black carrots help slow the growth of cancer cells by up to 80%.
 
There is also a reduction in the incidence of colon cancer and esophageal cancer with the consumption of black raspberries. In addition to anthocyanins, British black raspberries are rich in ellagic acid and antioxidants. Ingredients are known to be useful in destroying free radicals - harmful molecules that move freely in the body and damage cells.
