Khadaki Ambemohar is a traditional rice variety cultivated from preserved local seeds in parts of Maharashtra. Ambemohar rice varieties are known for their distinctive aroma and small grains. Farmers associated with Kalsubai Millets grow this rice using natural farming practices without chemical fertilisers or synthetic pesticides.
In Maharashtrian households, Ambemohar rice is commonly used for everyday meals and traditional recipes. It is often cooked as plain steamed rice and served with dal, vegetables, or curry. The grain is also used in dishes such as varan-bhat, masale bhat, and other rice preparations that are part of regional home cooking.
According to the Indian Food Composition Tables (ICMR-NIN), rice is a source of carbohydrates and contains small amounts of plant protein. These nutrients include naturally occurring carbohydrates and protein present in cereal grains. [VERIFY: ICMR-NIN micronutrient data for rice]
Choosing naturally grown rice from Kalsubai Millets means the grain comes from farmers cultivating traditional seed varieties rather than large commercial hybrid systems. The rice is grown without chemical fertilisers or synthetic pesticides and supplied directly through a farmer producer company. This sourcing approach supports farmer income and helps maintain the cultivation of traditional rice varieties.
