Description:

• Medicinal rice with innumerable health benefits
• Organic and 100% natural
• Recommended for pregnant women and lactating mothers
• One of the rarest and most precious varieties of rice that we have is Rakthashali Red Rice.
• This small and slender-grained rice is known for its nutritive and medicinal properties.
  
• It comes to us as unpolished raw rice with full bran.
• Rakthashali Red Rice is good for making kanji or rice porridge and payasam.
• Steamed rice can be eaten with Indian curries. 
• It can be consumed by all ages especially the aged, the ailing, and the young.
• Charaka Samhita, which is the oldest text on Ayurveda medicine mentions the curative properties of Raktashali Red Rice.
• It is known to help produce blood cells and considered to be very good for women who are anaemic.
• We also have anecdotal evidence from our own farmer’s family that the rice is recommended during chemotherapy to stabilise or retain blood count.
•  Raktashali has high levels of Vitamin B5 which help in the production of red blood cells.
• Therefore it is good for women and also persons undergoing various high-stress illnesses and treatments.
• Bio Basics procures Raktashali Red Rice from two farms in Kozhikode and Wayanad.
• Now our Tamil Nadu farmer group that has been trying to grow Raktashali also harvested their organically grown Raktashali.
• So, it comes from two sources.
• Since it is medicinal rice, it comes as unpolished raw rice rather than parboiled. 
• The plant is very sensitive to climatic variations.
• The grain is dense with nutrients.
• The rice is harvested in December-January.
• It is aged and milled fresh every one or two months.
• We consider it one of the top five rice varieties that we carry.
• Aids metabolism and weight loss
• Builds stamina and immunity
• Reduces the risk of cancer, anemia, and diabetes
