Organic Rajmudi Rice

Experience the royal taste of Organic Mandya Rajmudi Rice, an heirloom grain once cherished by the kings of Mysore. With its red-brown hue, earthy aroma, and rich nutrients, this Organic Rajmudi Rice blends taste with health. Grown organically in Mandya’s fertile soil, it stays unpolished to retain fiber and minerals. Straight from our organic farms to your kitchen, Rajmudi Rice brings back Karnataka’s royal food heritage.

Some grains have a sturdy, earthy texture and a grounded character. They are neither polished nor soft, carrying the subtle flavours of soil, rain, and careful cultivation. Our Rajamudi rice belongs to that world. A slow-growing grain from Karnataka, Rajamudi holds subtle nuttiness, a hint of chewiness and a natural red tint that reflects its nutrient-rich bran layer. Cook it right, and it carries taste without needing too much seasoning.

This grain, often confused with polished varieties, remains true to its rustic identity. Earlier reserved for royalty and local rulers, Rajamudi has today become a favourite for homes that prefer unrefined nutrition over stripped-down whiteness. It is also commonly linked with regional variants such as Rajamudi red rice and sometimes mistaken for Karnataka ponni rice, though the two are very different in flavour, structure and farming character.

Nutty aroma and chewiness: Rice with character, not flat texture.

What Is Rajamudi Rice?

Rajamudi rice is a heritage variety with semi-polished red grains, offering a nutty flavor and hearty consistency. Its unique color and taste come from natural antioxidants present in the bran. Traditionally valued for its strength-giving properties, it now forms a staple in many organic diets.

Rajamudi Rice Glycemic Index And Diabetic Use

A common question we hear is, Is Rajamudi rice good for diabetics? The answer is not a simple yes or no, but it depends on eating patterns. The Rajamudi rice glycemic index is lower than highly polished rice, mainly because:

Its bran layer slows down carbohydrate digestion.
It contains fibre that supports blood sugar stability.
It offers steady energy instead of sudden glucose spikes.

However, portion control is key. For individuals with diabetes, pairing Rajamudi with lentils, vegetables and minimal ghee can help balance blood sugar better than eating it alone. Medical advice should always be taken when making major diet changes.

For such balanced meals, combine them with healthy sides like A2 cow ghee in moderation, or traditional accompaniments using natural honey and jaggery-based dishes.

How To Use Rajamudi Rice In Everyday Cooking

You can treat Rajamudi like any rice, but a little soaking improves the texture significantly. Here are some easy ways to use it:

Soak for 15–20 minutes for softer cooking results.
Serve with sambar, rasam or rich South Indian gravies.
Use in curd rice for more bite and nutrition.
Try it in lemon rice, coconut rice or mixed veg rice.
Use it in grain bowls with sautéed vegetables or leafy greens.

Storage And Best Practices

Rice stays flavourful when stored correctly. For best results:

Keep in an airtight container once opened.
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
Check for natural husk pieces before cooking, if minimally processed.
Do not mix old and new stock to avoid flavour variation.
Wash only before cooking, not before storing.
