Tag: Kalanamak rice

With its origins tracing back to the Buddhist era around 600 BCE, kalanamak rice was historically known as the 'black pearl' for its unique fragrance and color. Today, this heritage grain is celebrated for its remarkable nutritional profile and significant health benefits, offering far more than just a pleasant aroma.

Rice is a staple in the diets of over half the world's population, but not all varieties offer the same nutritional benefits. A newly developed variety called CR Dhan 310, for example, is making headlines as India’s first high-protein rice, signaling a shift towards nutritionally enhanced options.
