More Details

Indrayani Brown Rice comes from the Indrayani rice variety, a grain widely cultivated in Maharashtra. In this form, the rice is minimally processed and retains the bran layer, giving the grain its light brown color. Farmers associated with Kalsubai Millets grow this rice using natural farming practices without chemical fertilisers or synthetic pesticides.

In Maharashtrian kitchens, Indrayani rice is commonly used for everyday meals. The brown rice form can be cooked as steamed rice and served with dal, vegetables, or curry. It can also be used in dishes such as khichdi or simple rice-based meals prepared at home.

According to the Indian Food Composition Tables (ICMR-NIN), brown rice is a source of carbohydrates and contains dietary fibre and plant protein. These nutrients include naturally occurring carbohydrates, fibre, and protein present in cereal grains. [VERIFY: ICMR-NIN micronutrient data for brown rice]

Choosing naturally grown rice from Kalsubai Millets means the grain is sourced directly from farmers rather than large commercial supply chains. The rice is cultivated without chemical fertilisers or synthetic pesticides and supplied through a farmer producer company. This sourcing approach supports farmer income while maintaining transparency about how the grain is produced.
