Mappillai Samba Red Rice 10kg – Traditional Aged Red Rice | Rigel Spices

Description

Rediscover a true South Indian heritage grain with Rigel Spices Mappillai Samba Red Rice. It’s a traditional red rice variety from Tamil Nadu, aged to give a rich, earthy flavour.

Mappillai Samba means “bridegroom’s rice”. It gets the name from an old Tamil tradition of serving it to young grooms as a strengthening food. The rice is unpolished, so it keeps its natural red bran and a pleasant, slightly chewy texture.
