Swadesi Way’s Chennangi Red Rice is a naturally red, whole grain rice grown by farmers of the Timbaktu Collective in Andhra Pradesh.
Unlike white rice, Chennangi retains its outer bran layer, making it high in fiber, minerals, and antioxidants, especially anthocyanin, the pigment that gives it its vibrant red color.
It’s unpolished, sun-dried, and grown using traditional, chemical-free methods that preserve nutrition and taste.
A rice that’s earthy, aromatic, and filling – perfect for daily meals, special dishes, and wellness-friendly cooking.
