Product Description:
Introducing Chettinad Batter Point's Hand-Pounded Rice (Ponni) or Kaikuthal Rice, a valuable source of carbohydrates and protein along with essential nutrients. Immerse yourself in the unique aroma and taste of hand-pounded rice, crafted using traditional milling methods.
Differing from machine-processed rice, hand-pounded rice retains its nutritious qualities as the bran remains more intact. This rice variety is a significant source of carbohydrates and forms a staple part of a well-rounded diet, offering a flavorful taste that seamlessly replaces white rice.
CULTIVATION: Around 60 years ago, hand-pounded rice was the primary choice for consumption. The husk was manually removed from harvested paddy by pounding the grains in a stone mortar and wooden pestle, followed by winnowing. This traditional process preserves the bran, resulting in minimal polishing, making hand-pounded rice one of the healthiest rice options globally.
HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE: Chettinad Batter Point's Ponni Kaikuthal Rice or Ponni Hand-Pounded Rice (Ponni Boiled) stands out as one of the healthiest rice varieties available. It aids in maintaining cholesterol levels and can be used in all rice dishes as a wholesome alternative to regular polished rice.
NUTRIENT-RICH: Hand-pounded rice is abundant in essential nutrients such as fiber, protein, and iron, boasting the highest fiber content among rice varieties, which aids digestion. It is also rich in manganese, beneficial for the nervous system.
