FAQs

Do you grow GMO?

No. We support both heirloom and natural cross-pollination seeds and only source (DIRECT TRADE) from ORGANIC, SEED SAVING FARMERS.

Is black rice milled?

Partially, only the outer, inedible layer is removed ('husked' rice). Black rice is a WHOLE GRAIN with all nutrient-dense parts of the grain kernel preserved.

Why black?

Black rice is a rich source of ANTHOCYANIN, a phytopigment and powerful antioxidant, which renders our grain deep dark purplish in a similar way it does with blueberries.

Is black rice gluten-free?

Rice contains NO GLUTEN and is an excellent starch for anyone with gluten allergy or sensitivity such as celiac disease.

Why shorter cooking times for this black rice variety?

Most Thai rice, like ours, is LONG GRAIN: tall and slim. When cooking rice, water reaches the core easier, hence shorter cooking times. One cup of rice takes about 20-25 minutes cooking time.

How long can black rice be stored?

Our rice is vacuum sealed with a SHELF LIFE OF 24 MONTHS.
