Kaikuthal Arisi | Handpounded Rice for Healthy Daily Meals

 

Kaikuthal Arisi is a traditional rice variety grown mainly in Tamil Nadu, India. It is also known as Handpounded Rice, because the rice is processed using the age-old hand-pounding method. In Tamil, “Kaikuthal” means “hand-pounded.” This gentle processing method helps retain the bran layer, making the rice more nutritious than polished white rice.
