A rare and exotic long grain variety grown in northern Thailand. It is characterized by the dark outer bran, which turns deep purple when cooked and has a distinct 'nut-like' flavour and hearty texture. Black sweet rice is naturally wholesome and nutritious, providing significant levels of fibre, complex carbohydrates as well as some of the B-complex and E vitamins from the outer bran layer.
