For centuries it was cultivated exclusively for the Wadiyar kings of Mysore — served at the royal table and offered during Dasara, the grandest festival of the Mysore kingdom. Today, Dhatu Organics grows Rajamudi in the foothills of the Western Ghats using traditional organic methods, making this ancient royal grain available to every household.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRajamudi is not polished. That is the point.\u003c\/strong\u003e Conventional rice loses 70–80% of its vitamins, minerals and fibre during polishing. Dhatu's Rajamudi is delivered exactly as it comes from the paddy — bran intact, germ intact, nutrients intact. The striking red-brown hue of the grain comes from its natural anthocyanin-rich bran, the same class of antioxidants found in blueberries and red wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Rajamudi Rice Stands Apart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeritage variety\u003c\/strong\u003e — cultivated in Karnataka for over 1,000 years, preserved by traditional farming communities\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnpolished \u0026amp; whole grain\u003c\/strong\u003e — bran and germ fully intact for maximum nutritional value\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow glycaemic index\u003c\/strong\u003e — slower glucose release vs. white rice; better blood sugar management\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRich in dietary fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e — 4g per 100g, supporting digestion, gut microbiome and satiety\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnthocyanin antioxidants\u003c\/strong\u003e — the red pigment neutralises free radicals and reduces oxidative stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron, magnesium and zinc\u003c\/strong\u003e — naturally present in the bran layer removed from white rice\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCertified organic — no synthetic pesticides, fertilisers or chemical treatments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNutty, earthy flavour and a satisfying, slightly chewy texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRajamudi vs. Regular White Rice — The Nutritional Gap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen rice is polished to white, it loses roughly 67% of its vitamin B3, 80% of its vitamin B1, 90% of its vitamin B6, half its manganese, half its phosphorus, 60% of its iron, and all of its dietary fibre. Rajamudi, eaten unpolished, retains all of these. It is, nutritionally speaking, a fundamentally different food from white rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Karnataka Connection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRajamudi (also spelled Rajamudi or Rajamudi) takes its name from \"Raja\" (king) and \"Mudi\" (crown) in Kannada — literally the King's Crown grain. It grows at elevations between 700–900 metres in the Malnad region of Karnataka, where the cool climate, rich volcanic soil and traditional farm knowledge produce a grain with unique flavour complexity. Dhatu works directly with farming families in this region who have maintained the seed lineage for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Cook Rajamudi Rice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWash:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse 2–3 times until water runs clear. \u003cstrong\u003eSoak:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soak for 30–60 minutes for a softer result (optional but recommended). \u003cstrong\u003eCook:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use 1:2.5 ratio (1 cup rice : 2.5 cups water). Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 30–35 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes before opening. The grain will be tender with a slight chew — do not expect it to be as soft as polished white rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraditional pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rajamudi rice is magnificent with sambar, rasam, coconut-based curries, curd rice and the full range of South Indian cuisine. Its nutty earthiness also pairs beautifully with dal, ghee and pickle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Dhatu Organics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDhatu Organics sources Rajamudi from NPOP-certified organic farms in Karnataka's Western Ghats belt.
