Description
Bengal rice has a rich tradition of folk cultivation and had more than five hundred plus varieties, most of them unfortunately have been lost over the passage of time. However a new resurgence is seen across Bengal to revive some of the lost varieties and communities of farmers under advice from Agricultural Scientists have come together with a positive notion to bring back our past glory.
This varient of rice offered to you is known as "Kalonuniya", which has been cultivated without any use of pesticides and fertilizers. These varieties are unpolished and rich in mineral content unlike the polished and nutrient less varieties available in the market.
The term “Kala-Nuniya” is derived from the black panicle which produces the white grains as is famous for its pleasant fragrance. These rice grains are para-boiled in nature and are cultivated in Northern Bengal.
