Often called "Sugar-Free Rice" due to its low glycemic index (GI), Kala Namak rice has a rich history dating back to the time when Gautam Buddha returned to Kapilvastu after his enlightenment. Tradition holds that Lord Buddha gave special grains to the villagers of Mathla, instructing them to grow the rice in marshy lands, saying, “This rice will have a unique aroma that will always remind people of me.” For over 3,000 years, this rice has been cultivated in the Tarai region of Uttar Pradesh, preserving its distinct fragrance.
