  • Popular rice variety of Kerala

Uma Parboiled Rice is a very popular variety of red rice that comes from a 30-acre, PGS-certified farm in Palakkad, Kerala. The rice is semi-polished, roundish and medium-sized. The red stripes on the rice show that half of the bran is removed during milling. Uma Parboiled Rice can be used for daily consumption along with South Indian curries. It is tasty, easy to cook and meets your daily fibre requirement. It is ideal for people who want to start their red rice journey. It is also popularly used in Kerala for making dosa batter.
 

The Story

Uma Rice is an old improved variety of rice developed by Kerala Agricultural University. The farmer from whom we source the rice, has been cultivating it for many years. The paddy is parboiled in the farm the old-fashioned way, using a huge vessel called chembu over a wood fire. It is then sun dried and sent to a nearby mill for milling every one or two months and supplied fresh to us. The rice quality and taste is consistent because we source it from a single farm.

    Excellent parboiled rice

    Usually parboiled rice is presumed to hardy and taking forever to cook. Both prove to be wrong with Uma kaje/parboiled rice. Good amount of bran on the rice to give flavour to the rice. Coming from a coastal Karnataka region based person who eats parboiled rice on a daily basis, try this gem of a rice
