Posted By Gautham PB on Thursday 24th April 2025
1. Organic Brown Rice (Broken)
Easier to cook and digest than whole brown rice.
Still retains the nutrition of brown rice.
Great for porridge or khichdi.
2. Organic Red Rice (Matta or Kerala Red Rice - Broken)
Rich in iron and fiber.
Slightly chewy, so best if pressure-cooked well or soaked before cooking.
Soft and ideal for making everyday rice or soft khichdi.
Gentler on the stomach.
4. Navara Rice (Ayurvedic Rice)
Traditional medicinal rice used in Ayurveda for babies and convalescents.
Highly nutritious and good for immunity.
Requires soaking and proper cooking.
Tips for Cooking for Toddlers
Soak the rice for 1–2 hours to make it softer.
Use extra water and cook until very soft.
Combine with moong dal or vegetables for a wholesome meal.
