Description:

• Native variety of aromatic rice from Kerala
• Excellent for making biriyani, pulav and risotto
• Grown organically
• Gandhasaale Fragrant Rice is an unusual variety of raw rice that grows in the Western Ghats.
• The grains are small, slightly plump with a beautiful fragrance, that makes it ideal for making biriyanis and pulavs.
• It can also be used for making south-east Asian dishes such as risotto.
• The rice tastes delicious and is a favourite among people in this region.
  
• Farmers tell us that Gandhasaale Rice was also grown in the plains.
• Although it had a good yield, the rice had no fragrance.
• To bring out the best in this rice, high altitude and the low night temperature that the hilly regions provide, are required.
  
• Bio Basics sources it from a PGS-certified farmers' group in Wyannad.
• As with all varieties of raw rice, Gandhasaale Rice is aged for 4-5 months after harvesting.
• The rice is then milled at regular intervals and supplied to us.
• This process ensures optimum cooking quality of the rice.
  
• Most people associate fragrant rice with Basmati rice, unaware that we have a large cornucopia of fragrant rices in different rice-growing states in India.
• Bio Basics, through its initiative called ‘Beyond Basmati’ have taken the lead to promote fragrant rices from different parts of India. 
• Easy to digest
