Chak-Hao Poireiton or Chak-Hao Black Rice is a rare black rice grown in Manipur 🇮🇳
Known for its deep purple-black colour, nutty flavour, and aromatic profile, this rice is rich in anthocyanins, the same antioxidant pigments found in berries and purple vegetables 💜
It has a mildly sweet, earthy, and nutty flavour with a pleasant chewy texture.
Unlike white rice, Chak-Hao is unpolished and retains its bran layer. This gives it:
- A richer texture
- Higher fibre content
- Natural antioxidants
- A more complex flavour profile
This rice variety has a lower glcemic index than white rice, and therefore does not cause spikes in blood sugar.
