Traditional Jeera Raw Rice – 1KG

Description

🌾 Jeera Rice  – Jeerige Sanna Rice (ಜೀರಿಗೆ ಸಣ್ಣ ಅಕ್ಕಿ) – Karnataka’s Aromatic Heritage Grain

Jeerige Sanna Rice (ಜೀ르게 ಸಣ್ಣ ಅಕ್ಕಿ) is a cherished traditional rice variety from Karnataka, named for its cumin-like size and shape (“jeerige” meaning cumin, “sanna” meaning small). Known for its gentle aroma and smooth texture, this rice has been a kitchen staple in many Kannada households for centuries.

With a natural fragrance and the ability to absorb flavors, Jeerige Sanna is ideal for dishes like:

• Bisibele Bath

• Vegetable Pulao

• Akki Payasa (rice kheer)

• Light biryanis and festival foods

This rice is semi-polished, retaining essential nutrients while still cooking easily and softly — perfect for kids, elders, and daily use.

🕉️ Historical & Cultural Significance:

Jeerige Sanna has been mentioned in regional folk literature and oral traditions of Karnataka as a rice grown with love, often gifted during weddings and used in sacred temple offerings (naivedya). It is particularly cultivated in the Tungabhadra river belt and Raichur-Devadurga regions, where farmers have preserved this grain through generations.

In traditional Ayurveda-inspired diets, it is considered “laghu” (light on digestion), “snigdha” (nourishing), and “satmya” (compatible with the body). It’s often recommended for postpartum women, children, and those recovering from illness.
