<div><span style="display: inline !important;">Kaikuthal Arisi refers to rice (often a local variety like Samba) that has been hulled and partially polished using a traditional wooden mortar and pestle (the "hand-pounded" method). This gentle processing removes only the rough outer husk, leaving most of the bran layer intact. This makes it functionally equivalent to brown rice, retaining superior levels of fiber, B vitamins, and minerals compared to machine-polished white rice</span></div>
