Tulaipanji Fragrant Rice (Parboiled)
Description

Tulaipanji Fragrant Rice is native to Raiganj in Uttar Dinajpur district, West Bengal. This fine, slender, medium-sized rice retains its aroma even after parboiling. When cooked, the rice is tasty, non-sticky and has a good texture. It is suitable for pulavs, biryanis, kheer and can also be used as table rice.
The Story
Tulaipanji Fragrant Rice comes to us from a single farm in Rajganj and is GI tagged. It gets its name 'Tulan' because of its aroma and cotton-like texture of the cooked rice. The rice is grown organically during the August-December period, and mostly in fields where jute is harvested. This makes the soil in the fields low in fertility and moisture but is a contributing factor to its aroma. Tulaipanji Rice is also famous because it is resistant to pests and diseases.
