Organic Black Rice 1kg

Organic Black Rice from Jatiluwih, Bali, is a unique and nutrient-rich variety of rice grown in one of the most picturesque regions in Indonesia. Jatiluwih, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its stunning terraced rice fields, where traditional farming methods have been preserved for centuries. The area’s fertile volcanic soil and pristine irrigation system, known as subak, contribute to the exceptional quality of its black rice.

This rice is not only visually striking with its deep, dark hue but also a powerhouse of nutrients. Rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, it helps combat free radicals and supports overall health. It’s a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals like iron and zinc, making it a wholesome choice for anyone seeking a nutrient-dense alternative to white or brown rice.

This Organic Black Rice has a slightly nutty flavor with a chewy texture, making it versatile for both sweet and savory dishes. It pairs beautifully with Balinese curries, grilled vegetables, or coconut milk-based desserts. Unlike polished rice, its bran layer is intact, adding a hearty texture and making it slower to digest, which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and prolongs satiety.

Farmers in Jatiluwih cultivate this rice using sustainable and organic methods, ensuring no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers are used. Buying this rice supports local farming communities and preserves Bali’s rich agricultural heritage.

To prepare, rinse the rice thoroughly and cook it with slightly more water than white rice. It’s perfect for creating nourishing meals or adding an exotic touch to your table.

Organic Black Rice offers not only incredible health benefits but also a connection to Bali’s culture and natural beauty, making it a must-try for food enthusiasts and health-conscious eaters alike.
