The grains
Thirteen varieties, each with a reason to exist
Karuppu Kavuni — the “forbidden rice” — cooks naturally creamy with a low glycemic index. Poongar has been trusted for women’s health for generations. Kaatuyanam grows tall enough to hide an elephant and shrugs off floods. Mapillai Samba built the strength of bridegrooms.
Every pack names its grain, because the grain is the point.
Field to fridge
How a heritage grain becomes a ten-minute dinner
-
The fields
We partner directly with organic farmers across Tamil Nadu who still grow heritage paddy — Thooyamalli in the delta, Kaatuyanam in flood country, Karuppu Kavuni in the old temple belts — paying fair prices for chemical-free harvests.
-
The soak
Every grain is traditionally soaked before milling. It takes longer, but it is how these rices were always prepared — better digestibility, better flavour.
-
The mill
Small batches, milled gently to keep the bran and the character of each variety. No refined flour, no refined rava, ever.
-
The blend
Grain, dal, whole spices, salt and a trace of coconut oil. Each recipe follows the traditional proportions of the dish it serves.

“We didn't set out to build a food brand. We set out to make sure the grains our grandmothers cooked don't vanish on our watch.”
