Kalanamak Rice of Uttar Pradesh — The Fragrant Black-Husked Grain of the Himalayan Terai

The name Kalanamak is generally associated with the appearance of the paddy. The husk surrounding the grain is dark, giving the harvested rice a distinctive blackish appearance before milling. Once the husk and bran layers are removed, however, the edible rice grain itself is much lighter.
