Bamboo Rice (Moongil Arisi) – Natural Wellness in Every Grain
Discover the rare and nutritious Bamboo Rice, also known as Moongil Arisi in Tamil. Sourced from the deep forests and handpicked by tribal communities, this traditional rice is a natural superfood packed with health benefits. Unlike regular rice, bamboo rice comes from the seeds of flowering bamboo trees—a rare event that occurs only once every 40–60 years, making it a truly precious and organic grain.
Rich in medicinal properties, Bamboo Rice is known in Ayurveda for its ability to balance Kapha and Pitta doshas, detoxify the body, and aid in the treatment of various ailments. It helps eliminate toxins, supports urinary health, and improves digestion. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for relieving joint pain, back pain, and rheumatic conditions.
A perfect alternative to polished white rice, Bamboo Rice is high in protein and essential nutrients that help control blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure. It is especially beneficial for pregnant women, offering support against vitamin deficiencies.
When cooked, this short-grain rice offers a pleasant aroma, mild jasmine tea flavour, and a subtle green tint, making it a perfect pair for South Indian curries, rasam, or curd rice.
