Black Rice Exporter India — (Forbidden / Chak Hao / Purple Rice) Manufacturer & Supplier
Black Rice — known globally as Forbidden Rice, Purple Rice, and Chak Hao — is one of the most nutritionally superior and visually distinctive heritage rice varieties in the world, prized for its dramatic deep black to dark purple whole grain colour, naturally nutty earthy flavour, and exceptional antioxidant profile produced by anthocyanins — the same powerful plant pigment responsible for the colour and health benefits of blueberries and blackberries. Unlike milled white or parboiled rice varieties, Black Rice retains its entire natural bran layer through processing, delivering up to 9g of protein per 100g, rich dietary fibre, Vitamin E, iron, and magnesium in every serving — earning it global recognition as a superfood grain among health food brands, organic food retailers, nutraceutical ingredient buyers, and premium food service operators worldwide. Known as “Forbidden Rice” in ancient China because it was exclusively reserved for the Emperor and royal court due to its extreme rarity and unmatched nutritional superiority, Black Rice has emerged in the 21st century as one of the fastest-growing premium grain categories in global food trade — driven by surging consumer demand for high-antioxidant, gluten-free, whole grain superfoods across the Middle East, Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
