Black Rice (Forbidden Rice) — Manufacturer, Exporter & Supplier from India
Black Rice — known globally as Forbidden Rice, Purple Rice, and Chak Hao — is one of the world’s most prized heritage rice varieties, celebrated not only for its dramatic deep black to dark purple grain colour but for its exceptional nutritional profile that modern food science has validated as among the richest in the entire rice family. The characteristic black-to-purple colour of Black Rice is produced by anthocyanins — the same powerful plant pigment found in blueberries and blackberries — making Black Rice one of the most antioxidant-dense whole grain cereals available globally, with a protein content of up to 9g per 100g, natural dietary fibre, Vitamin E, and a remarkable combination of iron, magnesium, and niacin that has made it a staple superfood for health food brands, organic food retailers, nutraceutical companies, and premium food service operators worldwide. Known as “Forbidden Rice” in ancient China because it was reserved exclusively for the Emperor and nobility due to its extreme rarity and nutritional superiority, Black Rice has now emerged as one of the fastest-growing premium grain categories in global food trade — driven by rising consumer demand for high-antioxidant, gluten-free superfoods across the Middle East, Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
As a direct Black Rice manufacturer and exporter from India, Indiafeast Millers Private Limited processes every batch at our ISO, FSSAI, and APEDA-certified rice manufacturing facility in Karnal, Haryana — sourcing premium whole grain Black Rice that retains its natural bran layer, anthocyanin pigment, and full nutritional integrity through our careful cleaning and packaging process.

Black Rice (Forbidden Rice) — Manufacturer & Exporter from India
Black Rice is one of the most distinctive and nutritionally superior varieties in global grain trade, recognised globally for its dramatic deep black to dark purple whole grain colour, naturally nutty-earthy flavour, and exceptional antioxidant density produced by anthocyanins — the same powerful natural pigment found in blueberries and blackberries. Unlike any other rice variety, Black Rice retains its natural bran layer entirely intact, making it a whole grain superfood with protein content of up to 9g per 100g, natural dietary fibre, Vitamin E, and a rich combination of iron, magnesium, and niacin that has earned it the historic name “Forbidden Rice” — once reserved exclusively for Chinese Emperors due to its rarity and unmatched nutritional superiority.
