The term "traditional rice" can refer to various types of rice that are native to specific regions. However, if you are referring to whole grain or brown rice as traditional rice, they are generally considered to be more nutritious and healthier compared to white rice. Traditional rice varieties like brown rice retain the bran and germ layers, which provide more fiber, vitamins, and minerals. White rice, on the other hand, has had those layers removed during processing, resulting in a loss of some nutrients. Therefore, traditional rice such as brown rice tends to be a better choice for overall health and nutrition.

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.

For many of us Rice always meant polished white rice! Growing up, this is what was cooked and served to us day in and day out. It was an accompaniment to many a delicious assortment of curries, sambar or rasam. This main course of carbohydrate, as tasty as it is, does not bode well for the overall health and well being of those who consume it. The polishing process strips off the nutrients hidden in the outer surface of the rice kernels, leaving us with mere carb-loaded grains.
