Product Description:
Amrut Pushti’s Kala Namak Rice, popularly known as Buddha Rice (Oryza sativa L.), is an ancient fragrant variety of rice of INDIA, that is known for its nutritional value and potential health benefits. It is rich in iron, zinc, has a low glycemic index (~ 49, hence considered diabetic friendly and may help regulate blood pressure), boasts almost double the protein content (12–14%) compared to common rice varieties and has antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which are linked to improved skin health and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Due to its high protein and fibers, it brings faster satiety and hence helps in weight loss.
How to use:
Buddha Rice is cooked like any other normal rice. Soak it in clean water for 15–20 minutes, and cook in a pressure cooker with 2 whistle. Can be cooked in open vessel, too.
What makes Kala Namak Rice different from regular rice?
Kala Namak Rice stands out due to its unique natural aroma, black husk, high iron & zinc content, double protein compared to common rice, and very low glycemic index (GI 49–52). It also contains antioxidants like anthocyanins, giving added benefits to heart and skin health.
Why is it called Buddha Rice?
It has strong cultural heritage — historically linked to Lord Buddha, who is said to have sown it in the Siddharth Nagar region thousands of years ago. Because of this sacred origin, it is still considered a heritage grain of Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Is Kala Namak Rice good for people with diabetes?
YES. It has a low GI score of 49–52, making it digest slowly and preventing sudden spikes in blood sugar — ideal for Type-2 diabetes management and weight control.

How does it help prevent nutrient deficiency?
The Government of India selected Kala Namak under the Nutri-Farm Scheme because its iron & zinc density helps fight major micronutrient deficiencies like anemia and weak immunity — especially in women & children.
What does it taste and look like after cooking?
It is a white grain after milling but with a black husk pre-polishing. After cooking, grains turn fluffy, aromatic, soft, non-sticky, and elongate well without breaking — perfect for biryani, pulao & daily meals.
