Sivan Samba Rice is a short-grain red rice with a reddish-brown hue and a nutty, earthy flavor. Its slightly sticky texture when cooked makes it suitable for a variety of dishes, including curd rice, pongal, tamarind rice, and special festive recipes. Because it is unpolished, it is healthier than white rice, offering benefits like improved digestion, better blood sugar management, and enhanced heart health.
