Known as the “rice of the Buddha”, Kala Namak is a 2,500-year-old variety from the Terai plains of eastern Uttar Pradesh. The semi-polished, aromatic grains are naturally aged to deepen flavour. Rich in iron and zinc, and with a laboratory-tested low glycaemic index of 52*, a mindful choice for both everyday meals and special dishes.
*GI 52 determined by a NABL-accredited laboratory (ISO 26642:2010).
Clean Label Wellness Powerhouse
Kala Namak is a low glycemic index, nutrient-rich grain that is naturally aromatic, easy to digest, and rich in iron, zinc, fiber, and antioxidants. Grown during the Kharif season using organic, water-efficient, and sustainable farming methods, this rice is as good for the environment as it is for your body.
Naturally Grown

Culinary Versatility
