Overview

About Black Rice

Black Rice — historically called “Forbidden Rice” — is an heirloom whole-grain rice variety prized for its deep black-purple color, nutty flavor, and high anthocyanin (antioxidant) content. Cultivated in limited quantities across Manipur, Assam, and other specialty regions of India, black rice is a premium superfood ingredient retailed by health-food and gourmet brands across the USA, EU, UK, and Japan. Availability is on-request, subject to seasonal harvest.

Buyer Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is black rice?

An heirloom unpolished rice, often marketed as forbidden rice, whose dark colour comes from anthocyanins. It is sold as a gourmet and antioxidant superfood rather than a staple.

Where is Indian black rice grown?

Mainly Manipur and the northeastern belt, with Chak-Hao being the best-known GI-tagged variety. Acreage is limited, so forward booking is advisable.

How is black rice packed for retail?

1 kg and 5 kg BOPP printed retail packs under your own brand, or 25 kg bags with food-grade liner for repacking.

What is the shelf life?

Around six months to a year in cool dry storage. Like brown rice it retains the bran, so it turns faster than milled white rice.

Is RNG Agro Exports a direct Black Rice exporter in India?

Yes. RNG Agro Exports LLP is an APEDA-registered Black Rice exporter in India based in Gujarat. We contract Black Rice against your specification, test every lot and ship FOB Mundra or CIF your port.
