Red Rice

Red Rice is a powerhouse of nutrition, enriched with antioxidants, fiber, and essential minerals. Its distinctive red husk is due to anthocyanins, the same compound found in berries, which helps fight inflammation and supports overall wellness. At Farm Ayurveda, our Red Rice is naturally grown, unpolished, and handpicked to retain its full nutrient profile.
