KisaanSay, in collaboration with Progressive Rural Development Foundation (PRDF) Gorakhpur is proud to present Kalanamak Rice—an ancient variety that has been brought back to life through the visionary efforts of Dr. R C Chaudhary.
The Legacy of Kalanamak Rice
Known as the "Buddha Rice," Kalanamak Rice has a rich history that dates back over 2,000 years. It is believed that Lord Buddha himself introduced this unique rice to the region, making it a symbol of both cultural and agricultural heritage. But Kalanamak Rice is not just a jewel from the past—it is also a nutritional powerhouse that outshines many other rice varieties.
Why Kalanamak Rice Stands Out
Kalanamak Rice isn't just any rice. It is a variety that combines heritage with exceptional nutritional benefits, making it a superior choice for the health-conscious consumer.
- Superior Protein Content: With 16 grams of protein per 100 grams, Kalanamak Rice offers nearly double the protein found in Basmati rice (8.3 grams) and far more than regular white rice (1.42 grams). This high protein content makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking to enhance their diet with quality plant-based protein.
-
Low Glycemic Index (GI): Kalanamak Rice has a GI of 54, categorizing it as a low-GI food. This is significantly lower than the average GI of 73 found in most other rice varieties, making it a healthier option for those managing diabetes or watching their blood sugar levels.
- The only Rice with Vitamin A: Unlike most other rice varieties, Kalanamak Rice contains 0.29 micrograms of Vitamin A per 100 grams. This is a unique feature that supports vision health and boosts immunity, adding more value to every serving.
- Iron, Zinc for Immunity Support: With 2X Iron & Zinc versus other Rice, Kalanamak Rice contributes to your daily mineral intake, which is vital for a strong immune system and overall well-being.
The PRDF Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
Kalanamak Rice’s resurgence is thanks in large part to PRDF, founded by Dr. R C Chaudhary, a visionary who dedicated his life to the agricultural development of his hometown after three decades of rice research at global institutions. Under his leadership, PRDF has been instrumental in reviving the heritage and pride of Kalanamak Rice through their seed certification and sustainability initiatives. Working with over 50,000 farmers, PRDF ensures that each grain of Kalanamak Rice is cultivated with care, maintaining its authenticity and superior quality.
