Diabetes Control — Proven by Research

• ›A feeding trial published in the International Journal of Advanced Engineering, Management and Science (2018) monitored diabetic subjects over 90 days and found blood sugar levels decreased consistently after Navara supplementation
• ›Low glycemic index — does not spike blood sugar. Best at lunch; pair with Bahuroopi at dinner for the most effective traditional combination
• ›Eliminates weakness and lethargy in diabetics — blood sugar reduction typically reported within 40–45 days of regular use

Superior Nutrition — Confirmed by ScienceDirect

• ›A peer-reviewed study (Food Chemistry, 2007) found Navara has 16.5% higher protein, 27–32% more Thiamine, 4–25% more Riboflavin, and 34–44% higher dietary fibre than standard commercial rice varieties
• ›Significantly higher Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium, and Calcium compared to other varieties
• ›Relieves constipation, gas, and acidity — the high fibre content makes this one of the best digestive rices available

Antioxidant & Antiproliferative Properties

• ›Confirmed DPPH radical scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging, and elevated Vitamin E levels in supplemented subjects (2018 study)
• ›ResearchGate confirmed antiproliferative properties in C6 glioma cells — a potential source for plant-based therapeutic applications
• ›Balances all three Ayurvedic doshas (Vata, Pitta & Kapha) simultaneously — an extremely rare quality in any food

Anaemia & Iron Deficiency

• ›The same peer-reviewed study (Food Chemistry, 2007) confirms Navara has significantly higher Iron content than standard commercial rice — iron is the primary mineral required for haemoglobin production in the blood
• ›Being unpolished, the iron in Navara is in its natural form with the bran layer intact — significantly more bioavailable than the trace iron remaining in polished white rice after milling
• ›A better daily rice choice for women, growing children, and anyone prone to iron deficiency — symptoms of which include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and poor concentration

Panchakarma & Neuromuscular Healing

• ›Njavara Kizhi — warm Navara rice applied as poultice on paralysed limbs during 48-day Panchakarma treatment for rheumatic and neuromuscular disorders — practised in Kerala for over 2,500 years
• ›Special ability to absorb Manganese and translocate it to the grain — important for nerve function, bone health, and enzyme activation

Daily Rice & Porridge

• ›Plain rice (annam) with sambar, rasam, curries
• ›Java (porridge) — especially good for the elderly and during recovery

Idli & Dosa

• ›Excellent for idli and dosa batter — gives a slightly different colour and deeper flavour to fermented batters

Sprouts & Health Drink

• ›Soak the grain — it sprouts unlike any other rice. Dry the sprouts, grind into flour, mix with cow milk for a powerful health drink that replaces tea or coffee for children and the elderly

Option 1 — Weekly Rotation

Pick 7 varieties, one for each day of the week. Navara on days when you need deep nourishment or are managing a health condition.

Option 2 — Health-First Choice

Diabetes, digestion, joint pain, or paralysis recovery → Navara as your primary rice. For Vitamin D → Indrani. Blood health → Rakthashali. Growth → Mysore Mallige.

Option 3 — Full Rotation

Rotate through all available varieties over the month — the traditional way. Families never ate just one grain. Maximum benefit from the complete range.

How to Store

Airtight container in a cool, dry place — away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Found Insects? That Is Actually Good News

• —Insects confirm your rice is completely free of chemicals and preservatives. Heavily processed rice never gets insects — because nothing living wants to go near it
• —Spread in sunlight for 2–3 hours, clean and use normally
• —Store with neem leaves or dry chillies to keep them away going forward
