Bora Rice (sticky Rice)
Code : P9810

Bora rice, also known as sticky rice or glutinous rice, is a unique variety cultivated in Assam, India. It is characterized by its stickiness due to a high amylopectin content and low amylose content. This makes it ideal for traditional Assamese dishes like pitha (rice cakes) and as a staple in daily meals, often enjoyed with doi (curd), gur (jaggery), and cream. Bora rice is deeply ingrained in Assamese culture, particularly for festivals like Bihu and in traditional preparations like pitha, hurum, and chunga chaol. Bora rice is a good source of protein, micro-nutrients, starch, and vitamins. It is also known for being rich in antioxidants and a potential immunity booster. It is traditionally grown in Assam using organic and sustainable farming practices, often passed down through generations.
