Description
Experience the heritage flavor of Maharashtra with PIP AGRO Ambemohar Brown Rice, a traditional rice variety known for its sweet aroma similar to mango blossoms. The name “Ambemohar” comes from Marathi, where Ambe means mango and Mohar means blossom.
This GI-tagged rice from the Maval region of Pune carries a rich historical legacy. It was a favorite in the royal kitchens of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Bajirao Peshwa, making it one of the most celebrated traditional rice varieties in Maharashtra.
Unlike polished rice, PIP AGRO Ambemohar Brown Rice is unpolished, helping retain the natural bran layer and fiber of the grain. When cooked, the rice develops a soft and slightly sticky texture, making it ideal for traditional Maharashtrian dishes and many modern recipes.
Its delicate aroma and smooth texture make it suitable for everyday meals as well as festive recipes.
