Our Thoughts

It’s 2020, the first wave of COVID 19 just hit us. What a panic? We just don’t know what is the deal. What is going to happen ? The future bleak and uncertain. The media has made enough noise to give their own numbers of people who would just not live to see another day. Panic, sadness, anxiety and every emotion that you can find in the book. But then what was causing deaths that this generation of humanity has never seen before?

In this era of packaging pollution, we at Let’sLive are exploring several natural packaging materials that are aesthetic, environmentally friendly and commercially sustainable. One of the materials that we are checking out are Jute bags.

Traditional rice varieties are exceptionally rich in genetic diversity and possess excellent traits, including better grain quality profile, health and nutritional values, and resistance to climate related stress, pests, and diseases.

Rice is one of the ubiquitous grains in the world, is a mainstay for Indian families. This edible starchy cereal grain is found in our breakfast, lunch & dinner. It is a good source of glucose that supplies the body with its needed energy. Not all grains are made equal. Let’s look at how we can have rice in our daily diet and still lose weight!

Bamboo rice is one of those rare rices which is actually not paddy! It is not harvested like other rice varieties. It mostly grows in the wild and are seeds of a dying Bamboo shoot. Bamboo is a perennial grass that flowers once in its lifetime while bamboo shoots can be harvested after two years of planting it. Usually the lifetime of the bamboo plant is from 40 to 100yrs. When it reaches its end, the shoot blossoms and forms seeds which are harvested as Bamboo rice. The collection and selling of these seeds and bamboo shoots are an excellent economic proposition for the local tribals.

Moongil Arisi or Bamboo Rice grains are actually the seeds of the Bamboo that are delivered during a spectacular culmination of a dying bamboo shoot. These seeds are produced by the Bamboo only once at the end of its lifespan, which is anywhere between 40 and 120 years.
