IR 20 Rice / Idli Arisi
IR 20 was historically introduced to ensure food security, but the Ayini Organic version restores it to its rightful place as a nutritional powerhouse. Unlike the commercially mass-produced versions that are heavily polished, our unpolished IR 20 is scientifically proven to be richer in protein and essential minerals. It is the "Hardworking Grain," designed to provide sustained physical endurance and cellular nourishment for an active lifestyle.

🚜 Agricultural Resilience: Known for its robustness in the field, this grain represents the bridge between traditional farming resilience and the modern need for dependable, clean nutrition.

💡 How to Prepare / Use (Step-by-Step)
Prep (Simple Rinse): Wash the rice gently 2 times. To maximize the absorption of its natural minerals, soak the grains for 20 to 30 minutes before cooking.
Cook (The Fluffy Method): Use a water-to-rice ratio of 2:1 for firm, separate grains, or 2.5:1 for a softer texture. Pressure cook for 2–3 whistles, or cook in an open pot for approximately 15–18 minutes.
Serve (The Ideal Pairing): Because the grains stay separate and non-sticky, it is the perfect base for Fried Rice, Lemon Rice, or Tamarind Rice (Puliogare). It also pairs excellently with spicy, thin-consistency gravies.
