Code : P9811

Red bao rice, also known as Bao-dhaan, is a type of indigenous, deep-water red rice cultivated in Assam, India, particularly in the Brahmaputra valley. It gets its characteristic red color from anthocyanins, natural pigments found in the rice bran. This iron-rich rice is known for its nutritional value, including high levels of iron, protein, vitamins, and antioxidants. Bao-dhaan is typically grown in low-lying, swampy, and flood-prone areas, often without the use of chemical fertilizers, making it an organic rice variety. Red bao rice is a nutritional powerhouse, boasting high levels of iron, protein, vitamins (including Vitamin A), and antioxidants. Its rich antioxidant content is linked to potential health benefits like reduced inflammation and improved skin health. Red bao rice is considered a healthy and diabetes-friendly option due to its high fiber and nutrient content. It is also believed to be beneficial for skin health due to its antioxidant properties.
