It’s health benefits are mostly related to the fact that it is a whole grain. The fiber in it is believed to aid in the reduction of cholesterol, the movement of waste through the digestive tract, the promotion of fullness and the prevention of blood clots.

Cultivation highlights
Transplanting is one of the most common methods of establishing rice plants. It uses less seed and is a more effective weed control strategy, but it involves more work. Transplanting seedlings can be done by machine or by hand. At OrganicSiri, we grow all our crops in our own farms organically without use of fertilizers or chemicals.
Storage
Whole grain rice has low shelf life; due to high oil and protein content they get spoilt faster and attract insect growth. It’s crucial to keep it away from moisture and to avoid using damp hands or ladle when handling it. It is best stored in sealed and vacuum containers. When storing rice, make sure the container is dry and clean.
Availability
We grow rice in multiple crops over the seasons, store it to season and mill it periodically for year long availability.
