Araikkal Kaikuthal Arisi / Handpounded Rice - 500 g ( Pack of 2)

Kaikuthal Arisi is a traditional rice variety commonly grown in Tamil Nadu, India. It is also known as Hand-pounded Rice (in Tamil, “Kaikuthal” means “hand-pounded”) due to the traditional method of processing where the rice is manually pounded, preserving much of the grain’s nutritional value. This rice is typically unpolished, retaining its bran, making it a healthier alternative to regular white rice.
