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.
