Because, it requires a lot of care. From fertilizers to pesticides, everything has to be looked at very closely. When you make rice with it, its aroma is so strong that the whole house will know that you have prepared the rice. Especially people like to eat this rice with mutton and chicken.
Ayurvedic doctor VK Pandey explains that this rice actually has very low calories. You will get only 40 to 50 calories in 100 grams of it.
This is the reason why you can eat it comfortably even while dieting. And those who are diabetic can also eat it. Just don’t make it in a pressure cooker. Rather, if you prepare it by boiling it in water, it will be even more beneficial.
