Kudavazhai Rice

Kudavazhai Rice – The Ancient Red Grain of Wellness

Rediscover the power of heritage with Kudavazhai Rice, a traditional red rice variety from Tamil Nadu that has been cherished for centuries. The name "Kudavazhai" is derived from its unique earhead shape, which resembles a "Kudai" (Umbrella). Known for its extreme resilience and ability to grow in tough conditions, this grain carries that same strength and vitality to your plate.

Our Kudavazhai rice is minimally processed to retain its bran layer, ensuring you get the maximum fiber and nutrient content in every meal.
