Himalayan Red Rice: A Nutrient-Rich Supergrain from the Heart of Kumaon

In a world leaning toward wholesome and organic living, Kumaon Foods’ Himalayan Red Rice stands as a symbol of ancient nutrition and sustainable farming. Grown on terraced fields high in the Himalayan ranges of Uttarakhand, this vibrant, earthy grain has been a traditional staple for generations. Let’s dive into why Red Rice deserves a place in your kitchen and on your plate.

🌿 What Makes Red Rice Unique?

Unlike polished white rice, Red Rice retains its outer bran layer, which is rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Its deep red color comes from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that give it its healing properties.
