A rare and nearly extinct variety of rice grain, it is now being preserved by a few passionate organic farmers from Kerala. Ayurveda uses this rice variety to correct the imbalance of 'tridosha' (namely Vata, pita & Kapha) and has properties potent enough to cure several ailments, including liver, kidney & nerve disorders, and is also known to combat cancer. This red rice variety improves blood circulation and is recently recommended by doctors to boost immunity against Covid – 19.
