IR 36 Rice / Idli Rice

IR 36 is globally recognized by agricultural scientists for its legendary resilience, but at Ayini, we prioritize its biological brilliance. While standard IR 36 is often heavily milled into "white rice," our organic, unpolished version retains its nutrient-dense bran, providing a significant concentration of natural Zinc and Iron. It is the ideal grain for a modern, high-activity lifestyle, offering a steady metabolic burn that keeps you fueled without the inflammatory spikes of refined carbohydrates.

💡 How to Prepare / Use (Step-by-Step)

Prep (Clean & Hydrate): Rinse the rice 2–3 times in cold water. Soak for 30 minutes. Soaking is essential for unpolished IR 36, as it allows the long grains to hydrate evenly for a perfect fluff.

Cook (The Absorption Ratio): Use a water-to-rice ratio of 2.5:1. For a pressure cooker, 3 whistles are ideal. If cooking in an open pot, simmer until the water is fully absorbed and the grains are tender but distinct.

Serve (Daily Versatility): Its non-sticky nature makes it the premier choice for Variety Rice (Lemon, Tomato, or Pudina). It also serves as a fantastic, healthy base for South Indian meals with thick Vatha Kuzhambu or creamy curd
