Description
Indrayani is a regional rice variety closely tied to Maharashtrian kitchens. Its short grains cook up soft and slightly cohesive, with a gentle natural fragrance, which suits comforting everyday meals such as dal rice, khichdi and masale bhaat. Like rice in general, it is naturally free from gluten.
Why Dang is different. Dang is a forested, mostly tribal district in southeastern Gujarat. In November 2021 the state declared it a natural farming district, where farmers are encouraged to use natural inputs such as Jeevamrit in place of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. This grain comes from farming families there.

Why is farming in Dang, Gujarat different?
Dang is a forested, mostly tribal district in southeastern Gujarat where farming has traditionally been low input. In November 2021 the Gujarat government declared it a natural farming district. Farmers there are encouraged to replace chemical fertilisers and pesticides with natural inputs such as Jeevamrit and Ghan Jeevamrit, and the state supports them with annual assistance per hectare. We buy our rice, toor dal, black chana and whole green moong directly from farming families in Dang, a region where natural farming is actively promoted by the state.
What offers can I use?
Festive offer: use the code NAVRATRI20 for 20% off single products on orders of ₹1,000 or more. Bundles are already priced 20% below MRP. Offers do not stack, so you get whichever saves more. This festive offer is for a limited time and ends when the Navratri sale closes.

What does "naturally grown" mean for Earth N Essence?
Our rice, toor dal, black chana and whole green moong are grown by farming families in Dang, Gujarat following the region's traditional agricultural practices, and processed with minimal intervention so each grain keeps its natural character. Our gluten free flours and groundnut oil are not from Dang.
