Black Rice, known in Manipur as Chakhao Poirieton, is a rare heirloom rice with a deep purple-black bran layer and a naturally sweet, nutty aroma when cooked. Double Good Organics sources this export-quality black rice through our organic partner network, bringing a Northeast Indian specialty rice to kitchens across the country. Traditionally used to make vegan Chakhao Kheer (a fragrant rice pudding made with coconut milk and jaggery) and festive dishes, black rice retains its bran and germ, giving it a chewier bite and richer colour than polished white rice. Because it isn’t heavily processed, a short soak before cooking helps it cook evenly.
