Seeraga Samba Pulungal Rice — The Cumin-Shaped Jewel of Tamil Nadu

Seeraga Samba Pulungal (சீரக சம்பா புழுங்கல்) is one of Tamil Nadu’s most prized heirloom rice varieties — named for its distinctive small, plump grains that resemble cumin seeds (Seeragam in Tamil). Parboiled (Pulungal) to lock in maximum nutrition, this golden-hued rice is celebrated for its extraordinary flavour absorption, rich aroma, and impressive health profile. Organically grown by Nalvazhi farmers during the traditional Samba season (August–January), every grain is pure, wholesome, and deeply nourishing.

• Parboiled for Maximum Nutrition: The parboiling process retains more vitamins and minerals compared to raw milled rice.
• Low Glycemic Index: Slow-digesting carbohydrates help maintain stable blood sugar — ideal for diabetics.

• Thyroid & Hormonal Support: Traditionally known to help regulate hormonal imbalances.
