Description:-
Kalanamak rice is said to outshine even the most
exclusive Basmati rice in all quality traits except grain length. Kalanamak
rice is a non-basmati rice with short to medium grain length. Aroma of
Kalanamak rice, which is said to be the gift of Gautam Buddha, is stronger than
all Basmati varieties. Elongation after cooking, which is one of the most
important quality trait in the international rice market, is 40% greater than
Basmati rice. Cooked kalanamak is softer and fluffier that other rice
varieties. Amylose content is close to 20% as compared to 24% and higher in
Basmati. High amylose levels tend to make the rice cook firm and dry. Rice with
a medium amylose content of between 16% and 22% usually cooks softer and the
grains stick together more readily.
Health Benefits:-
Kalanamak rice is rich in
micro-nutrients such as Iron and Zinc. Therefore, having this rice is said to
prevent diseases borne out of Iron and Zinc deficiencies. It is said that
regular intake of Kalanamak rice can prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Government of
India came out with Nutri-Farm scheme in 2013, with the aim to promote food
crops that have critical micro nutrients to fight malnutrition and improve
nutrition status of the vulnerable section of society. Kalanamak rice was one
of the nutri-crop selected for this scheme.
