Himalayan Red Rice
Experience the healing power of the "Red Rice." Sourced from the mineral-rich fields of the Kangra and Upper Shimla area, our "Himalayan red rice" is grown by certified farmers practising Subhash Palekar’s Zero-Budget Natural Farming. Revered in ancient Ayurvedic texts as Rakthashali, this unpolished grain is celebrated for its unique ability to balance all three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Cultivated in the pristine Himalayan environment, this rice is significantly higher in protein, fiber, iron, and zinc than standard white rice, making it a functional staple for metabolism, immunity, and blood sugar management.
