Pahari Himalayan Red Rice is sourced directly from certified organic farmers of Uttarakhand and grown naturally in the lush, high-altitude Himalayan valleys. Organically cultivated without the use of chemicals, this traditional rice variety is known for its rich nutritional profile, firm texture, and distinctive flavour. The heavy rainfall and pristine environment of the Himalayas contribute to its crunchy texture and robust taste.
Himalayan Red Rice, also known as Laal Chawal, is semi-milled, meaning a portion of the reddish bran is retained. This makes it richer in fibre, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals compared to white rice, while allowing it to cook faster than fully unmilled brown rice. When cooked, the rice turns pale pink, soft, and slightly sticky. Cooking it with the husk on helps incorporate Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) into the diet. A perfect substitute for white or brown rice, it pairs well with all kinds of side dishes and is increasingly preferred by health-conscious individuals for its nutritional benefits.
