Indrayani Rice 1000g

Indrayani rice is a medium- to long-grain, aromatic rice variety developed in 1987 as a hybrid of the traditional Ambemohar rice in Maharashtra, India13. Grown primarily in the Maval region of Pune and parts of Nashik, Indrayani rice is celebrated for its natural fragrance, slightly sweet taste, and soft, sticky texture when cooked, making it ideal for traditional Maharashtrian dishes such as pulao, khichdi, and dahi bhaat Unlike many polished rice varieties, Indrayani is often sold unpolished, retaining its husk and core nutrients. It is a rich source of vitamins (notably B1/Thiamine), minerals (iron, calcium, zinc, manganese), protein, and dietary fiber, which contribute to its health benefits such as improved digestion, regulated blood sugar levels, heart health, and weight management. The rice is easy to digest, has a low glycemic index, and is suitable for people with diabetes or those watching their blood sugar Indrayani rice is usually grown using sustainable, eco-friendly methods, supporting local farmers and promoting biodiversity. Its cultivation involves transplanting seedlings and requires good irrigation, with a crop duration of about 130-145 days. The variety has also received a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, recognizing its unique qualities and traditional cultivation methods.
