₹ 285

Description

Black rice was once forbidden in China not because it looked unusual but because it had such high nutrient value, and was only reserved for the consumption of royalty. Today, black rice is vastly domesticated in North East India, Bengal, Jharkhand, and Odisha, and is treasured for its medicinal properties. Commonly known as Chak-hao, it forms the centre of Manipuri celebratory feasts. It is an anti inflammatory, anti carcinogenic and a rich source of dietary fibre. Since this rice is gluten-free, it can be consumed by those who are gluten-intolerant.

100% Organic black rice and can be used in place of polished white rice and is a good rice for risottos.
