Poongar Medicinal Rice is a popular red Tamilnadu rice. Raw rice is generated directly by milling the paddy. In the traditional processing method, the paddy is de-husked and cleaned to make it fully clean of bran, leaving it free of fiber and many other nutrients. It is also particularly essential to consume raw rice with their bran as much as possible. However, certain rice is often processed with a single touch of polish or so-called semi-polished rice, which holds some of the bran. As this is often favored by many people who use white polished rice, Ivyfoods does sell several of these varieties of rice.Poongkar rice is called 'Women's Rice' and is good for women's health, particularly pregnant and lactating women.
