Original Indian Table Black Rice, 1.25Kg

Good, genuine product. The color doesn’t bleed when you wash the rice, hence easily told apart from other fake, artificially coloured rice.Good flavour; although the aroma and the nuttiness are pretty mild compared to some other authentic black rice varieties I’ve had in the northeast India.A great product nonetheless.My favourite way to use it would be to mix a cup of each boiled quinoa, black rice and cut and steamed veggies. Then toss it in a lime-olive oil vinaigrette. Add half cups of lightly toasted sunflower seeds and a tablespoon of sesame seeds. Seasoned with salt and pepper. Kept in the refrigerator for the flavours to develop and it tastes amazing served cold the following day.Served with some grilled chicken or tofu to make a complete meal!

It was not an original black rice but coloured. There are grains of white rice present and colour coming off from coloured rice which clearly states that white rice was coloured.

Liked how chewy this rice is..it has to b soaked overnyt.also wn making kheer wd this, I found it ddnt increase in volume lyk other sticky rice (example juha rice)..made plain rice too..it tasted very nice, I could eat it wdout any accompaniments

loved it, great quality , clean ,no stones or sticks ,no change in colour after soaking, doesnt even take a lot of time to cook ,flavour is pretty good easy to get used to ,all in all just perfect, gotta soak it for couple of hours though before you cook but thats ok,loved itonly problem took a lot of time to arrive ,had to contact amazon custome care bcoz even after ordering after 3-4 days it didnot show dispatched but the they sent it quickly thats the only complaint i got,but all in all compared to all the other brands available this is definetly the best ,worth the wait

But the price is moderately high. I got the product from my own home state, not from Karnataka as shown in the label on the picture, and that's the thing- Black Rice though not indigenous in Bankura, but the State Govt. is helping farmers in cultivating this kind of Black Rice in the region, and they cost much less for the same quality. I know because I have bought them from the state's co-op shops.Good for making purple coloured 'payesh', and also can make great mushroom risotto with it. Has a wonderful nutty flavour and depth.

My mom cooked kichdi with this rice gotta tell you it tastes awesome when U eat with chicken gravy curry.

It says packed om 19 th june 2013 and best before 6 months :/ but the manufacturing year is faded so i dont know how to know for sure

I'm quite impressed by its aroma and delicios nutty flavor. Rice is very clean, high quality and well packed. While soaking the water turns purple and i understood that it is quite natural about it. I made Rice kheer with it and it was delicious.You must try once.
