Kalojira
কালোজিরা
A black-husked, small-grained aromatic landrace of West Bengal with short, bold white kernels and low amylose.

Black husk, white kernel
In trials at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Kalyani, Kalojira had black lemma and palea, short grains 4.9 mm long in the husk, and white, short, bold kernels 3.7 mm long and 2.1 mm wide; the paper does not say whether the kernels were milled, so the dimensions are flagged as not confirmed milled measurements. Amylose was 18.0 %, aroma medium-strong, and the crop matured late, at about 151 days.
