Description

  • Indigenous rice from Tamilnadu

  • Single farm origin

  • Chemical-free and pesticide free

Illuppai Poo Samba is a traditional fragrant variety of rice from Tamil Nadu. This cream-coloured rice has a bit of a green tinge and is slightly sticky in texture. According to farmers, the fragrance of Illuppai Poo Samba is similar to Mahua flowers, after which it is named. The rice has a nice fragrance when soaked and cooked. It is good for making kanji, kolukattai, puttu, dosas and can be used for a variety of preparations. Steamed Illuppai Poo rice tastes great with sambar and other South Indian curries. This semi polished rice is available with 25-30% bran and is easy to cook.

This time illupai poo samba has about 20% mix, this happened as this was cultivated post red rice. So the paddy seeds that remained sprouted and joined the ilupai poo samba and this field admixture have resulted in red rice amidst the ilupai poo samba. This possibly happened

The fragrance, taste, and texture of the ilupai poo Samba is very much there. But we want to let you know there is a mix and have you enjoy this mix that nature gave us , which despite sorting is here to remind us that farming is not ever completely in our control.
