Natural Assam Black Rice | Purple when Cooked | Regional Specialty-Assam | 500g

253.00

Our Natural Black Rice from Assam is what legends are made of. It is supposed to have originated in China nearly 4000 years ago, and then rumoured to have migrated to Northeast India. In the early days, these delicious black grains were only considered fit for kings. Black rice was called ‘Forbidden Rice’ or ‘Emperor Rice’ because of superior healing powers. In the mediaeval era it was sparsely cultivated and hence expensive to buy. The tribals grow more of it today, but without using any chemical fertilisers or pesticides. So bite into its mildly nutty spell now and forget all your worries!

Why eat it?
Black Rice is the elite cousin of red rice. It is a naturally grown native food indigenous to Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur. This variety from Assam is low in starch, turns purple when cooked and is rich in antioxidants, minerals and fibre. This rice takes a little longer to cook. But it’s totally worth the extra time because black rice benefits your overall health. It is known to be anti-angiogenic/angiogenesis and anti-carcinogenic. Buy it to eat your way to good health.

Cooking tips:
The best way to cook black rice is by first soaking it for 3-4 hours. This substantially reduces the cooking time. Add the soaked rice to boiling hot water. The cooking time can vary from 45 mins to an hour, so remember to add lots of water, or keep adding boiling water, if the water level is low. When the rice turns purple and yields when pinched with fingers, it is done. Best enjoyed with spicy dishes.
