Chak Hao Poireiton, Black Rice

Chak Hao Poireiton is a black rice from Manipur. The literal meaning of Chak Hao is ‘delicious rice’ (Chak – rice; Hao-delicious). This sticky textured rice is rich in fibre and it usually turns deep purple when cooked due to its anthocuanin content. This grain has disease fighting antioxidants and prevents diabetes, cancer and heart disease. One serving of black rice offers a high amount of flavanoid phytonutrients, and mineral content such as iron and copper. It is a good source of plant-based protein.

Our Chak Hao Poireiton was cultivated in a certified organic farm and artisan processed. It has not been through any processing other than sorting and cleaning and it is unpolished and so it retains much of its nutritional value.

The product is packaged in a Zipped Kraft Paper pouch and sealed in a sterile environment.
