The Kala Namak rice variety, grown in the foothills of the Himalayan ranges, carries a natural aroma and earthy flavor that sets it apart from the more commercialized grains we’re used to. Because it’s unpolished, it retains its full nutritional profile, the bran, fiber, and micronutrients that contribute to its low glycemic index and make it a significantly better choice for people managing diabetes. Despite looking small and almost understated when raw, the grain swells generously when cooked, turning light, fluffy, and full-bodied. Its natural fragrance fills the kitchen, and when used in something as simple as khichdi, it delivers both comfort and control: the soothing taste of rice, with the metabolic gentleness of a low-GI food.

I recently switched to the Low GI rice and I’m absolutely loving it. The cooked texture is soft and genuinely satisfying, and it feels so much lighter than the polished rice I’ve used before and ever since I made the switch, I haven’t experienced that usual mid-afternoon slump.

The low-GI kalanamak rice from Two Brothers Organic Farms is sooo good, it has a nice texture and gentle aroma…finally a rice I can feel good about eating daily. It feels so light, doesn’t make me sleepy after meals and tastes even better with a spoon of ghee and some homemade pickle!

As promised, the rice didn't put me in a slump, felt light on gut, and offered an aroma which pulled me off my laptop towards the plate. Recommed tots.
