Ideal for health-conscious professionals seeking a nutrient-rich, versatile grain to enhance salads, side dishes, soups, and more. ## Description Organic ancient black rice is a dark, short grain that was once consumed only by Emperors and referred to as "forbidden rice.” the color of black rice transforms from a rich, satin black to a deeply set purple once cooked. Its flavor is comparable to that of whole-grain rice: a little firmer, nutty, and complex in taste over white rice. Our organic ancient black rice adds depth of flavor to salads, side dishes, and even desserts. Review: I have inflammatory PCOS. I have a histamine intolerance to foods. Which means I also can't spike my blood sugar levels. Black rice, in proper portions and prepared correctly, is very low glycemic index and does not spike my blood sugar levels. So this is my go to grain to have with a meal since my body can't tolerate many other grains. I love that black rice can be used in savory or naturally sweet dishes. I sometimes just warm up some black rice, coconut milk, and blueberries to have as a dessert. No added sugars or substitutes needed. This simple ingredients satisfy me every time. This brand is probably the best black rice I've had too. It's so hard to find locally and when I have it's not that great of quality. So far I like most of Yupik's brand that I've tried. Really good quality and value for what you get. It comes in a good, sturdy resealable bag, but I always empty mine into glass jars. This bag lasts me about a month of eating about 1/2 cup prepared, almost daily.

I bought this for my husband because he loves it but at $8.50 a pound it’s more of a treat than something I serve every day. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yupik Organic Ancient Black Rice, 2.2 lb (35.2 oz), USDA certified, Kosher, Gluten-free, Whole Grain, Ideal for Cooking, Side Dishes, and Salads - Yupik Organic Tri-Color Quinoa, 2.2 lb (35.2 oz), Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Kosher, Raw Seeds, White, Red & Black Quinoa, Unsalted, Oil-Free, Source of Fiber & Iron, Ideal Rice & Pasta Replacement - Yupik Organic Brown Jasmine Rice, Long Grains, 2.2 lb (35.2 oz), Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Vegan, Kosher, Whole Grains, Wheat-Free, Salt-Free, Source of Fiber, Ideal for Recipes, Side Dishes & More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/733695898-organic-ancient-black-rice-2-2-lb-35-2-oz](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/733695898-organic-ancient-black-rice-2-2-lb-35-2-oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
