What is Raktashali Rice

Did you know, the red rice in Indian Ayurveda has its varieties. And Raktashali Rice(Oryza Punctata) is one of those varieties.  Its health benefits are unique and endless. There is a different thing about these old and sacred varieties of rice as they are the most beneficial and promote better health. But despite all of these facts, they remain forbidden and some of them are not even consumed at all. In fact, most of us still believe that there are just a few types of rice which are mainly, white rice and brown rice.
