Kaikuthal Rice
Kaikuthal Rice is a traditional Tamil Nadu rice variety, processed using the age-old hand-pounding method to retain more of the rice’s natural bran and nutrients. Unlike highly polished white rice, Kaikuthal Rice undergoes minimal processing, preserving its authentic colour, texture, aroma and traditional character.
Naturally wholesome and rich in dietary fibre, it is an excellent choice for those looking to include traditional, minimally processed grains in their everyday meals. Its slightly firm texture and distinctive flavour make it suitable for steamed rice, kanji, idli, dosa and other traditional preparations.
