Sarawak Black Rice

SARAWAK Black Rice/Beras Hitam (Semipolished) is a wet paddy variety planted by the local community from Siburan and Lundu districts in Sarawak. It is popular among the locals for its high health values as it is packed with essential nutrients such as manganese and calcium.

The dark colour of the rice comes naturally from a flavonoid compound known as anthocyanin, which is high in antioxidants. The rice has a flavourful nutty taste and chewy texture when cooked.
