Product Details

Thanjavur Ponni Boiled Rice is a short-grain, aromatic rice variety grown in the fertile Cauvery delta region of Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, often called the “Rice Bowl of Tamil Nadu”, and its parboiled processing gives it a slightly reddish tinge, firmer texture, and better nutrient retention than raw rice, making it a household staple for everyday Tamil meals.
