Kullakar Rice is a traditional red rice variety from Tamil Nadu. This semi-polished, parboiled rice comes with 20-35-% bran and is ideal for making idli, dosa, adai, and kanji. It is a delicious flavour and known for its healthful properties. Complex carbohydrates in the rice help you feel full for longer and keep hunger pangs at bay. It is therefore good for weight control too.

The Story

Kullakar Rice is a short-duration crop grown during the Kar or summer season. Bio Basic sources this rice from a single farm near Chennai. The bran content may vary from batch to batch since the machines used to process the paddy are not electronically controlled.

    Best companion rice for idly

    Low GI

    Red kullakar rice adds a lot of value to your diet. Being semi polished, it retains a lot of nutrients lost in the process of polishing. The naturally present dietary fiber provides more satiation and is excellent for diabetics.
    Can be used as table rice or also to make idlis and a variety of dosas.
