24 Mantra Organic Sonamasuri Unpolished Rice Brown/Brown Chawal - 5 Kg | Pack of 1 | 100% Organic | Chemical Free & Pesticides Free

This is the best Brown rice by far that I have found on India Amazon. Very good unpolished, real Brown Sonamasuri rice. This is a complex carb whole food packed with fibre, protein (yes - clean plant based protein!), vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. This is very bio-available (easily digested and the nutrients are absorbed by the body) and for me, the effects of consuming this are clearly visible within a few days (feeling of greatly increased strength, energy and muscle mass). Amazing super food.I was actually looking for long grain Brown Basmati rice as that has the best glycemic index (low) but could not find a good one in the market. The popular brands are not good quality anymore. This Brown Sonamasuri rice is a close compromise from Basmati and is much better than the so called 'Brown Basmati' from other brands that I tried.However, food is digested differently in different people - so you may want to try a smaller pack first to see if it suits you and whether you like it. For me, this is my favorite Brown rice that I found in India (ofcourse I looked only on Amazon and local retail stores and did not explore direct small farmers which would have been ideal).

Flavor is okay. but it's organic and with 100% bran. I used it with white rice to make idli and Dosa and it worked well. If used alone, the idlis and dosas will turn very spongy, not a soft one though, Like a bathing sponge.The bran will accelerate the fermentation process and you will have to make your breakfast at 5 in the morning instead of at 8, like I did the first time. Just mix some polished rice with it and you will be good to go. And grind everything a bit later than usual if adding a lot of this rice in the batter.Another problem I had with it was with soaking. It never really absorbed enough water to be ground in a stone grinder. I'm sure that it was because of the whole bran which is very tough. When I added it to the grinder it sounded like I was grinding stones in it. I had to put the rice in my mixer grinder and pulse it to a coarse mix before adding it to the wet grinder. If you don't mind the loude noises, then you don't have to do as I did.

Have been ordering it from few months, it's as expected and good. I do not have knowledge of telling if it's organic or not.. trusting this brand..

Nice

I recommend. Healthy for daily use

It smells like BHC powder which is used to kill ants. Even after washing 8 times with water, the smell isn’t going away.. they have added too much bhc powder to prevent insects which is too toxic for health.the product mentioned it was organic so I bought. It’s totally fake info. Think twice before buying.

Healthy

Perfect
