Cultivation and Harvesting

Organic Hand Pound Rice from Organic Tattva is sourced from certified organic farms. These farms practice sustainable farming techniques, adhering strictly to organic farming principles without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or GMOs. The crop is nurtured in nutrient-rich soil with natural composts and bio-fertilizers, which bolster healthy growth and ensure the vitality of the final product.

Each grain of Organic Hand Pound Rice undergoes traditional hand-pounding methods. This meticulous process involves manually pounding the harvested rice using wooden pestles and mortars, distinguishing it from conventional rice, which is polished and stripped of its nutritious layers. The hand-pounding process not only retains the rice’s natural nutrients but also imparts a distinctive texture and flavor.

Nutritional Benefits

Hand-pound rice, compared to polished white rice, retains the bran layer and germ along with the endosperm, making it nutritionally superior. The hand-pounding process ensures that the rice remains rich in vital nutrients like fiber, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, which contribute greatly to a balanced diet.

Key Nutritional Components:

• High Fiber Content: The bran layer is retained, making the rice a good source of dietary fiber. This aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy bowel system.
• Complex Carbohydrates: Offers slow-releasing energy, making it an excellent option for sustained energy levels throughout the day.
• Proteins: Contains essential amino acids that support muscle maintenance and overall growth.
• Vitamins and Minerals: Rich in B vitamins (such as thiamine, niacin, and riboflavin) that play crucial roles in energy metabolism, as well as essential minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium.
• Antioxidants: Contains antioxidants from the bran layer, which help fight free radicals and contribute to overall health.

Culinary Excellence

Organic Hand Pound Rice from Organic Tattva is not just about health; it’s also about remarkable taste and culinary versatility.

Cooking Tips:

• Preparation: Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking to shorten the cooking time and improve texture.
• Cooking Method: Rinse thoroughly before cooking. Use a rice-to-water ratio of approximately 1:2.5 cups. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and let it simmer covered until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
• Resting: Let the rice sit covered for a few minutes after cooking to allow the grains to settle and the flavors to enhance.
