What are Poongar Rice Flakes?

Poongar Rice is an indigenous red rice variety known for its soft texture, reddish bran layer and deep nutritive value. Traditionally consumed by pregnant and postpartum women, it supports lactation, hormone balance and healing from within.

Our Poongar Rice Flakes (பூங்கார் அவல்) are made by gently flattening the unpolished rice using traditional methods. With the outer bran intact, they deliver fiber, iron and plant-based nutrition in a form that’s easy to digest and simple to cook.
