Chennel - Organic Unpolished Red rice 140/- KG

Chennel, is a native red rice cultivated in the Wayanad. Also referred as Chennellu or Valiya Chennellu, this is a bold red grain and slender in comparison to the matta rice. Chennel offers a nutty taste on cooking and is often used for daily consumption as well as porridge preparations and the flour is used to make idiappams, puttu and ella adda. Anecdotal evidence from local communities suggests that Chennel is a good source of fibre and Vitamin B1 and is used extensively for its medicinal properties and is included in the diet of those recovering from diarrhea and jaundice.

Red Rice

It is recommended to store rice in a cool, dry
area. If it needs to be preserved for a long period, say over a month or more,
dried neem leaves can be added into the pack/box. It is better to avoid storing
in humid areas as this would cause pests to form faster. Since our heritage
rice is purely organic, the husk is sweeter, which in turn could invite pests
if not stored as suggested above.

Raw Rice

Soak the Chennel Raw rice for 8 hours before cooking. Cook it in the ratio of 1:5 (For 1 cup rice, add 5 cups water). Please adjust the water ratio according to your preference
