Iron Focused
Often chosen when customers want iron-rich ingredients.
Poongar Rice Kanji Mix is a heritage porridge made from Poongar arisi — a traditional Tamil Nadu red rice variety prized for its iron content and its mild, slightly earthy sweetness. Poongar rice has been cultivated in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu for centuries and is now classified as a heritage grain under state protection efforts. The kanji cooks into a warm, pinkish porridge that is thicker and more sustaining than white rice porridge. To prepare: simmer the mix in water for 25–30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the grains soften and the porridge thickens. Serve with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of coconut oil. The 250g pack makes 4–6 servings. No preservatives, artificial flavours or colours. Frequently requested as a breakfast or evening meal for women, convalescents and elderly family members in traditional Tamil households.
