IKAI Natural Assam Black RiceAbout the Product: Our Natural Black Rice from Assam is what legends are made of.

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.

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.

When the rice turns purple and yields when pinched with fingers, it is done. Best enjoyed with spicy dishes. Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.
