Known for its unique sandalwood-like aroma and appealing white colour, Gandhakasala is an exquisite rice variety for making biriyanis, ghee rice, and fried rice. An abundant source of proteins, this aromatic rice is unique because its yearly yield is only half that of other rice crops. The chilly climate of the hilly terrains in Wayanad is known to impart distinctive aroma and nutrients to this Wayanadan aromatic rice variety.
