Yupik Organic Ancient Black Rice, 2.2 lb – Kosher, Gluten-Free, USDA Organic

Yupik Organic Ancient Black Rice invites you to explore a storied grain with a modern kitchen appeal. Once reserved for emperors, this short, deep-hued rice is affectionately called forbidden rice for its rarity and character. As it cooks, the kernels transform from a satin black to a rich purple, releasing a warm, nutty aroma that fills the room.

Texture and flavor are where this rice shines. It delivers a firmer bite and complex, earthy nuttiness that pairs beautifully with bold vegetables, herbs, and proteins. While white rice glides by with a neutral profile, Yupik’s black rice brings depth to salads, side dishes, and even dessert experiments where color and texture matter.
