Organic Black Rice (কালো চাল)

Our Organic Black Rice (কালো চাল), also known as forbidden rice or purple rice, is a rare, nutrient-dense ancient grain cultivated organically in the hilly regions of Sylhet and the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The striking deep purple-black color comes from anthocyanins — the same class of powerful antioxidants found in blueberries and blackcurrants — making black rice one of the richest whole-grain sources of these plant compounds. Black rice contains more fiber, protein, and iron than brown rice, with a lower glycemic index than both white and brown rice, making it an excellent choice for blood sugar management. It has a mild, nutty flavor and a pleasantly chewy texture, cooking to a beautiful deep purple that makes any dish visually dramatic. Use it for exotic biriyani, healthy rice bowls, rice pudding with coconut milk, or as a striking addition to grain salads. A genuinely rare and precious grain with extraordinary nutritional credentials.
