ABOUT

 

No introduction is necessary for the native rice variety known as Jeeraka samba or Seeraga Samba. The name immediately brings to mind the simple flavour of biryani.

The tiny, but immensely popular and pricey, Jeeraka samba may well become the first rice variety from Tamil Nadu to get the Geographical Indication (GI) tag. These grains are airy and loose when cooked. It imparts a flavour and adds taste to dishes like biriyani.

Due to their similarity—being small—the rice and cumin seeds share the term “seeragam”. Samba refers to the growing season for rice, which is normally from August to January.

SOMETHING ABOUT RICE

Rice is an essential component of many Indian rituals since it represents prosperity, fertility, and abundance and has life-giving properties. Numerous Indian festivals, including Onam, Pongal, and Bihu, fall around the rice harvest. The importance of rice in Indian culture is undoubtedly demonstrated by customs like offering rice to deities and customs like annaprashana, where the first meal for a newborn is made by boiling rice in milk. Both of these practices signify good fortune and luck.

 

Nearly half of the world’s population relies mostly on rice. Two domesticated and roughly twenty-two wild types of rice are currently available. Rice production is said to have begun around 6500 years ago. Rice is the most widely grown grain in the world and may be found in warm, tropical, and aquatic environments. Depending on the type, it can supply a variety of amounts of energy, fibre, protein, and minerals.

WHY SHOULD TRADITIONAL RICE BE INCLUDED IN OUR DIET

People today do not lead the same healthy and nutritious lifestyle as their ancestors. While diseases like “high blood pressure,” “diabetes,” “blood sugar,” and “cancer” have become popular terms, they are used far too frequently. People tend to fall sick frequently due to their unhealthy food habits and lifestyle. 

One of the most nutrient-dense common foods is traditional rice. According to history, ancient people cherished traditional rice varieties for their nutritional and therapeutic benefits. Ailments like heart attacks, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. were essentially unheard of in earlier times. Our forefathers led long, robust lives. Specialists attribute this to our ancestors’ diets, which prioritized rice over other foods. Traditional rice is the best known source of vitamin B, prevents fatty liver, aids in muscle recovery, helps lower or entirely avoid blood sugar, is high in fibre and selenium, and has no cholesterol. Additionally, traditional rice has a reputation for preventing breast cancer. The benefits of traditional rice are endless. It is well recognized that all types of rice aid in physical growth, a better immune system and the prevention of many diseases.
