About this product
There is a reason Kala Namak rice has been grown in the Purvanchal belt of eastern Uttar Pradesh for centuries. Its naturally occurring aroma — mild, floral, and distinctly its own — is not something that can be engineered in a factory or replicated in a commercial hybrid variety. It is the product of a specific land, a specific seed, and a specific way of farming.
Purvanchal Harvest brings this heritage grain directly from traditional farming families in Gurapur, UP to your kitchen. We do not bleach it or treat it with chemicals. The grain you receive is exactly what it should be — unprocessed, aromatic, and nutritionally intact.
Cook it simply with water and a little ghee. You will notice the difference immediately — in the aroma while it cooks, in the texture when it is done, and in the taste when it reaches your plate.
