<b>Kaivara Samba Rice ($கைவர\ சம்பா\ அரிசி$) is another traditional and highly nutritious heritage rice variety from Tamil Nadu, India. Like other Samba varieties, it is typically a long-duration crop, grown during the main Samba season (July/August to January). It is primarily known as a red rice or brown rice variety because it is often sold unpolished or hand-pounded, ensuring the nutrient-rich bran layer remains intact.</b>
