Assam Black Rice

Assam Black Rice turns a vibrant deep purple once cooked, with a mild nutty flavour and pleasantly chewy texture. Rich in anthocyanins — the same antioxidants found in blueberries — it's low in glycemic index and packed with fibre, protein, iron, and vitamin E. A true superfood staple, best known for its role in Black Rice Kheer and Til Pitha during festivals

Origin: Assam, India
