Kaatuyaanam - Raw

Kaatuyaanam a rice variety cultivated mainly in Tamil Nadu grows over seven feet tall. It has the ability to hide an elephant, hence the crop was given this name. (‘Kaatu’ meaning forest and ‘Yaanam’ meaning elephant). The rice keeps diabetics and arthritis under control, boosts immunity and protects against skin problems. Very high in folic acid, it helps strengthen the pelvic bone so it was regularly given to pregnant women.

Conserved and Cultivated by Swami Dayananda Farms, Manjakkudi

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 Kaatuyaanam 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.
