Black rice, an heirloom rice, once consumed only by the Royals is a rare and a very old variety of rice that has been growing in India for centuries. Since it had high nutritional values, it was given a place only on an emperor's menu. The secret of the intriguing nomenclature goes back to Ancient times, where a black variant of rice was consumed by a host of kinsmen for longevity of their life, until a handful of noblemen took possession of every grain and withheld it from public consumption. Black rice then became a property for the royalty and the wealthy only. Black rice continued to be cultivated but only for the elite classes, in limited quantities and under strict surveillance. The common folk were prohibited from growing or consuming it, and since then it has earned its much renowned label - the Emperors rice or Longevity rice.
