Black Rice

Description

Harvested from the fertile fields of Samziuram village, this traditional Black Rice is cultivated by the Zeliang community, who have preserved indigenous farming practices for generations. Grown in a clean, rain-fed environment with rich soil and gentle climate, the rice develops its distinct deep purple-black colour, firm grain structure, and natural aroma, reflecting its authentic Naga origin.

Naturally rich in anthocyanins, dietary fibre, and essential minerals, black rice is valued for its nutty flavour and chewy yet soft texture when cooked. It provides sustained energy and is traditionally considered nourishing and wholesome. Every serving delivers a balance of heritage, nutrition, and purity, making it ideal for everyday meals, festive dishes, and health-conscious cooking rooted in Nagaland’s traditional food culture.
