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

Premium heritage meets everyday versatility

Yupik Organic Ancient Black Rice is a compact, glossy grain with a storied past. Known as forbidden rice in tradition, its kernels darken from satin black to a rich, deep purple as they cook, releasing a faint nutty aroma that hints at its wholesome character. The texture is pleasantly firm and chewy, richer than white rice yet approachable enough for weeknight meals and special occasion bowls alike. This is a whole grain that brings depth to salads, side dishes, and even dessert-inspired creations.

In the kitchen, these grains shine when they’re allowed to stand up to bold flavors and crisp vegetables. Their color and structure create visually striking plates, while the nutty, intricate palate rounds out dishes without overpowering other ingredients. The result is a versatile foundation that invites experimentation—from simple weeknight sides to layered salads that benefit from a contrast of textures and colors.
