Moongil Rice

Moongil Rice

Moongil Rice, or Bamboo Rice, is one of the rarest grains in the world — harvested only when bamboo plants flower, an event that occurs once in several decades. With its pale greenish-white grains and a subtle, sweet flavour, it is a truly extraordinary grain steeped in forest tradition and natural wonder.

Why Moongil Rice

• Exceptionally rare — harvested once in decades from flowering bamboo
• Rich in carbohydrates, phosphorus, and natural sugars
• Believed to have medicinal properties in traditional practice
• Naturally gluten-free with a unique delicate flavour
• Ethically sourced from forest communities

How to Cook

Soak for 30 minutes. Cook with 1 part rice to 2.5 parts water on low heat for 25 to 30 minutes. Best enjoyed as a sweet pongal or simple steamed rice.
