Kaatu Yanam Rice

Wild-grown traditional rice rich in fiber and antioxidants

Kaatu Yanam rice, or காட்டு யானம் அரிசி (Kaatu Yanam Arisi) in Tamil and काटु यानम चावल (Kaatu Yanam Chawal) in Hindi, is cherished for its unique health-boosting properties. Exceptionally high in iron, antioxidants, and phenolic compounds, it supports blood production, liver detoxification, and overall vitality. Traditionally used to aid in recovery and nourishment, especially for postpartum women and anemic individuals, this rice has a robust flavor that lends itself to hearty meals. With a low glycemic index and high fiber content, it is an excellent option for managing blood sugar levels. Proper soaking enhances its texture, making it perfect for nutrient-packed dishes combined with iron-rich vegetables and herbs.
