The Legacy of Ambemohar Rice

A Grain Woven into Maharashtra’s Culture

Ambemohar Rice has been cultivated for over 300 years in the fertile soils of Maharashtra’s Konkan and Western regions. Monsoon-fed rivers and nutrient-rich black soil nurture this variety, while generations of farmers have safeguarded its unique identity. Often called the “Pride of Maharashtra,” it’s a staple in rituals, festivals like Gudi Padwa, and daily meals, symbolizing prosperity and purity.

Texture That Melts in the Mouth

Unlike long-grain varieties, Ambemohar’s plump, short grains absorb flavors beautifully while retaining a tender, almost melt-in-the-mouth consistency. Its slight stickiness makes it perfect for pairing with Maharashtrian Pitla, Zunka, or Katyachi Amti, where the rice harmonizes with tangy, spicy gravies.

Health and Wellness

Naturally gluten-free and easy to digest, Ambemohar Rice is gentle on the stomach while providing sustained energy. Its low glycemic index makes it suitable for those managing blood sugar, and its iron content supports vitality—a favorite among elders and children alike.
