Heera Ponni par-boiled Rijst, 5kg

Heera Ponni-boiled Rice is a premium variety of parboiled rice cultivated in the rich paddy fields of Southern India. Ponni, which means "Gold" in Tamil, pays homage to the River Kaveri that irrigates these lands. The parboiling process, involving partial boiling in the husk, contributes to its firm texture and reduces stickiness, making it a nutritious alternative to regular white rice. This processing method preserves more of the rice's natural nutrients.

Favored in South Indian households for its versatile use, Heera Ponni-boiled Rice is perfect for hearty dishes like Kichadi (Ven Pongal), traditionally accompanied by coconut chutney and sambhar. The rice should be washed gently in a rotary motion and soaked for 30-45 minutes before cooking to maintain its integrity and texture. Because of its low fiber content, it is particularly suitable for children and gentle on the digestive system, making it an excellent choice for family meals.
