Product Description:
In contrast to machine-processed rice, hand-pounded rice retains its nutritional integrity as the bran remains more intact. This rice is an excellent source of carbohydrates and is an essential component of a balanced diet. Moreover, it offers a rich, flavorful taste, making it a convenient alternative to white rice.
CULTIVATION: Approximately 60 years ago, hand-pounded rice was the predominant choice, with the husk manually removed from harvested paddy by pounding the grains in a stone mortar and wooden pestle. This traditional method, followed by winnowing, preserved the bran and resulted in minimal polishing. Hence, hand-pounded rice stands as one of the healthiest rice varieties globally.
