🌾 Thanjavur Ponni Parboiled Rice Cauvery – 5 kg

High-quality rice from South India, sourced from the Thanjavur region (Tamil Nadu) — valued for its soft, fluffy texture and natural taste. Thanks to the special parboiling process (partial steaming of the grain inside the husk), the rice retains more nutrients and becomes light and delicate after cooking.
