Once reserved for royalty, Black Rice — also known as Chak Hao in the Northeast is one of nature’s most powerful and sacred grains. Deeply pigmented in shades of purple and black, its color comes from anthocyanins, potent antioxidants known to fight free radicals, boost collagen and protect the heart.
Unlike polished white rice, Dharanija Black Rice remains unpolished, unaltered and non-genetically mutated, retaining its natural bran, fiber and nutrients. Each grain carries centuries of purity and tradition — cultivated with care and grown without genetic modification.
Nutritionally rich and naturally gluten-free, it is:
-
High in protein and fiber — keeps you full longer and supports healthy digestion.
-
Low on the glycemic index — helps regulate blood sugar, ideal for diabetics.
-
Packed with antioxidants — promotes heart health and natural detoxification.
-
Known for anti-cancer properties — anthocyanins and polyphenols fight inflammation and cell damage.
-
Excellent for skin and hair — supports collagen production and cellular rejuvenation.
Its deep earthy flavour and beautiful hue make it a favorite among chefs and health enthusiasts alike — perfect for salads, rice bowls, porridges, desserts or everyday nourishment.
