Organic Dheki Handpounded Rice

Organic Dheki Rice: A Traditional Grain with Wholesome Goodness

Organic Dheki Rice is a heritage variety of rice that is processed using an age-old, traditional method involving a wooden pounding tool known as the “Dheki.” This manual, non-mechanized process gently removes the husk and retains the essential bran layer, making Dheki Rice a nutrient-rich, unpolished rice that's deeply rooted in Indian rural culture . 

What Makes Dheki Rice Special?

• Minimal Processing: Unlike polished rice, Dheki rice is hand-pounded, preserving its natural nutrients, fiber, and germ.

• High in Fiber: The retained bran layer helps aid digestion and supports gut health.

• Rich in Antioxidants & B Vitamins: It contains essential micronutrients that are often lost in modern milling.

• Low Glycemic Index: Ideal for those managing diabetes or looking to maintain steady energy levels.

• Chemical-Free: Traditionally prepared in small batches, often using organically grown paddy, without chemical treatment.
