Kalabati Black Rice is a traditional rice variety associated with Ganjam, Odisha, recognised for its distinctive dark purple-black appearance, long grains and naturally nutty flavour.

Its characteristic colour comes from naturally occurring pigments known as anthocyanins, which are found in the outer layers of pigmented rice grains.

Unlike conventional white rice, Kalabati offers a distinctive visual appearance, flavour and cooking experience. Once cooked, its grains develop a deep purple colour and a pleasantly chewy texture, making it suitable for both traditional rice preparations and modern culinary recipes.

This Kalabati Black Rice is offered under Pranam Prakalpa, with Odisha Desi Haat connecting the product to customers looking to explore indigenous foods from Odisha.
