Ponni Parboiled Rice Thanjavaur India Gate 10kg is a medium to short-grain rice variety, popular in southern India and Southeast Asia. Cultivated in Tamil Nadu, Ponni translates to "gold" in Tamil, referencing the vital Kaveri River. Parboiled rice is steam-cooked before milling, resulting in grains that are firmer and less sticky compared to regular white rice. Ponni rice is a staple food, perfect for dishes like curry, idli, kichadi, and desserts. Due to the parboiling process, it retains higher nutritional value than traditional white rice, offering more fiber, calcium, potassium, and vitamin B6.
