Poongar Raw Rice

Poongar Rice is a traditional red rice variety native to Tamil Nadu, valued for its rich nutrition, soft texture, and cultural significance. It is a short to medium-grain rice with a natural reddish hue, typically available in unpolished or hand-pounded form, which helps retain its bran and nutrients.

When cooked, it becomes soft, slightly sticky, and flavorful, pairing well with South Indian dishes like sambar, rasam, and curd.
