This unique flavoured rice is grown in nutrient-rich fields and makes a perfect rice medium for a variety of delicious recipes. Along with other native varieties of rice, mappillai samba has all but disappeared from our farms and markets, making way instead for highly processed, nutritionally inferior white rice.
Organic Mappillai Samba can be cooked as plain rice, ground into flour or made into idli, dosa, upma and Pongal. The high fibre content in Organic mapillai samba rice helps in digestion and good sleep.
The origins of its name can be found in Tamil folklore which has it that traditionally, on his wedding day, a bridegroom (mappillai) was required to lift a heavy rock as a show of his strength and virility. To help boost his energy before the task, this rice was cooked and fed to the new son-in-law.
