Iron Focused
Often chosen when customers want iron-rich ingredients.
Poongar Rice Laddu is made from Poongar arisi — a traditional red rice variety from Tamil Nadu prized for its iron and anthocyanin content. Poongar is among the heritage rice varieties actively cultivated as part of Tamil Nadu's efforts to preserve traditional grain biodiversity. The grain has a naturally red bran, a slightly nutty taste and is frequently recommended in women's health contexts due to its iron profile. Mrs. Esakkiammal dry-roasts the Poongar rice, grinds it fine, combines it with jaggery and ghee, and hand-shapes each piece at Iyarkai Pantry in Tirunelveli. The 250g pack contains 8–12 pieces with no preservatives, artificial colour or flavouring. This laddu is a popular choice for women-focused gift packs and NRI customers looking for heritage-grain Tamil sweets that are difficult to source outside India.
