Thondi Highbran (Parboiled)
- Indigenous rice of Wayanad
- 100% organic
- Free of chemicals and pesticides
Thondi Rice is grown by a small PGS-certified organic farming collective in Wayanad. Most of the rice comes from a single farm owned by our close friend. If we were to rate our rices on taste, Thondi would qualify as the most delicious rice. When cooked, the high bran rice is bold but not sticky with individual grains remaining separate. Red and bold-grained with 80% bran. This variant is being made available for people who want a lower GI version that our regular Thondi with 40% bran.
Cook
Pre-soak for 3-4 hours Pressure cooker: 1 cup rice : 3.5 cups water. Cook on high flame for 3 whistles. Lower the flame and cook for another 4-5 whistles
Storage
- Once the package is open, transfer the rice to an airtight steel container, away from moisture.
- If you plan to store it for a long time, add a few cloves, bay leaves, or chilies to keep it free from infestation.
- If you find bugs in your long-stored rice, sun dry for an hour, shade dry for another two hours, clean the rice, and put it back in the container along with some cloves, bay leaves, or chilies. It will be good to use.
