🍚 Mapillai Samba Rice
Traditional Red Rice | Iron-Rich & Energy-Boosting
(மாப்பிள்ளை சம்பா அரிசி)
Description:
Mapillai Samba is a traditional red rice variety from Tamil Nadu, known for its strength-enhancing and stamina-boosting properties. The name “Mapillai” (meaning bridegroom) comes from the custom of feeding this rice to grooms to increase strength before marriage rituals, especially in rural Tamil culture.
This naturally red-hued, unpolished rice is rich in iron, fiber, and antioxidants. Its dense texture and earthy flavor make it a wholesome alternative to polished white rice. Regular consumption helps improve hemoglobin levels, aids digestion, supports bone health, and provides sustained energy—ideal for growing children, athletes, and the elderly.
It is typically used for idli, dosa, kanji (porridge), upma, or steamed rice after soaking and proper cooking. The rice is cultivated using traditional, organic methods without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
