Ceylon Traditional Rice

Have you ever tried the rice we eat here? Do you know that there are more than 2000 different indigenous rice types in Sri Lanka, and that most of our ancestors exclusively consumed these local varieties? Due to their healthy environment, eating habits, and lifestyle, Sri Lankans are strong individuals who have never suffered from diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks, or any other noncommunicable diseases. Our poor nutrition habits have played a major role in our declining health over time. Unfortunately, as a result of these changes, the majority of our unique food variety with medicinal and nutritional benefits are being purposefully destroyed. Statistics show that in our nation, traditional rice is grown on about 0.83% of the total rice planted land.

Historical data suggests that traditional rice varieties were produced organically, utilizing environmentally beneficial practices like crop rotation, green manure, compost, biological pest management, and historic irrigation systems for a steady supply of water. The nutritional value and environmental sustainability were maintained by such procedures.

Health benefits 

Since whole grains are significant sources of antioxidants, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and fat, epidemiological studies have suggested that consuming whole grains rather than refined grains has a number of health benefits. Since the majority of these nutrients and phytochemicals are found in the grain’s outer layers, the process of refining grains causes a large loss of these substances. In the prevention and nutritional control of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory disorders, and obesity, these nutrients and bioactive chemicals have a crucial role.

Traditional Heenati Rice

Heenati is a highly nutritious traditional red rice variety. Its purple and red pigments are indicative of rare antioxidants which enhance physical health strength and immunity, protecting the body from diseases. Heenati rice is also a time tested detoxifier and blood purifier in Ayurveda.

Kalu Heenati – Due to its nutritional content, it is advised for breastfeeding women to consume on a daily basis because it is rich in minerals and micronutrients like iron and zinc. It improves male sexual potency, physical strength, and immunity. Additionally, its high fiber content aids in controlling bowel movements (for example if there is constipation). Additionally, this kind was used as a medicine in the past to treat diabetes, diarrhea, and high cholesterol.

Rathu Heenati – Iron, zinc, and natural antioxidants are abundant in grains. It has more fat in it. While it can be used to treat hepatitis and diarrhea patients, it is strongly advised for expectant moms and the first meal of infants.

Sudu Heenati-  It is strong in vitamin E, iron, zinc, and other natural antioxidants, and has both excellent nutritional and therapeutic properties. Inflammations, diabetes, cancer, neurological disorders, high cholesterol, constipation, oxidative stress, and the human immune system can all be treated with this kind, according to studies.
