Trissam Black Rice (700 Grams) Of Assam

There are many types of black rice in Assam, but a cha-khao variety now referred to as Upen is most popular. It is this variety that has made its way to Goalpara, the Western Assam town now known for black rice. The thick grain has a distinct aroma perfect for porridge and puddings. The rice is a slow-growing, traditional variety with a relatively lower yield.

Black rice is a range of rice which has a deep black colour and usually turns deep purple when cooked. Its dark purple colour is primarily due to its anthocyanin content, which is higher by weight than that of other coloured grains. It is suitable for creating porridge, dessert,  black rice cake, bread and noodles. 

Black rice is known for its high nutritional value and is a source of iron, vitamin E, antioxidants, calcium, magnesium and zinc. Moreover, black rice used tobe known as forbidden rice in ancient China. Forbidden not because it looked poisonous because of its black colour, but because of its high nutritional value, which meant it could only be eaten by the emperor and other nobles.
