Mapillai Samba or “Bride Groom Rice” is a native variety of rice grown predominantly in Tamil Nadu. It is hardy and hence demands little or no fertilisers or pesticides.Along with other native varieties of rice, mapillai samba has all but disappeared from our farms and markets, making way instead for highly processed, nutritionally inferior white rice. Very few passionate traditional farmers still grow such rice. Why make this rice a part of your daily meal? 1. Is a loaded source of carbohydrates. 2. High fibre content 3. Wholesome amount of micronutrients. 4. A good source of iron and Zinc 5. RIch in magnesium and vitamin B6 and B1. 6. Immunity Booster 7. Low Glycemic Index: Diabetic friendly 8. Boosts Stamina How to Cook Rinse the rice in water & soak it for atleast 90 minutes. It takes about 30 to 45 minutes for Mapillai samba rice to be cooked well, there will be some water still left over with the rice. Drain the remaining water in a separate vessel, that's your Gruel, known to provide high energy.
