Kattuyanam Rice / Red Rice - Organic

At Sudhantira, we grow food with purpose food that nourishes, heals and strengthens. Among our most powerful offerings is Kattuyanam Rice, a traditional long-grain variety of Red Rice revered for its natural strength and resilience. This native rice is not just a nutritional staple, it’s a symbol of endurance, cultivated to restore balance in your everyday diet.

Straight from our organic farms to your home, Kattuyanam Rice carries the untouched energy of native soil, traditional seed and chemical-free care. No middlemen. No compromises. Only real food, grown for real health.

What is Kattuyanam Rice?

Kattuyanam Rice gets its name from the Tamil words kattu (wild) and yanai (elephant), suggesting strength powerful enough to withstand even the wildest conditions. True to its name, this traditional Red Rice grows up to 7 feet tall and is naturally pest-resistant proof of its resilience and rich nutrient profile.

Historically used in Siddha diets and village kitchens, Red Rice is packed with iron, fibre, magnesium and antioxidants. Its high endurance and medicinal value make it a go-to choice for those recovering from illness, athletes and families transitioning from processed white rice to whole, unpolished alternatives.

Why Choose Sudhantira’s Kattuyanam Rice?

1. We Cultivate, We Don’t Outsource
   At Sudhantira, our Kattuyanam Rice is grown on our own certified organic farms using regenerative methods. No middlemen. No bulk procurement. Only seasonally harvested grains you can trace to the soil they grew in.

2. Heirloom Seeds, No Hybridization
   We preserve the original seed varieties passed down through farming families. This ensures every bag of Red Rice you buy is pure, potent and full of its native strength.
