Walk into this store in Mylapore, speak to someone about the farming culture in Manjakudi, pick up recipes for specific varieties of rice and then pick from over 20 varieties of organic heirloom rice. Choose from double-layered wraps (in multicolour polka dots and stripes and green leaves inspired by Gond art) or Chettinadu kottans, and pack them for gifting.
Among the varieties on offer are the Bengal gobindabhog, black kavuni from Tamil Nadu and chakhao poireiton from Manipur. There’s sukhdas, a short-grained fragrant rice from Uttar Pradesh as also the kala namak or Buddha’s gift online, says Jayanthi Somasundaram, of Spirit of the Earth. The unbranded, reusable wraps are made of screen-printed, unbleached cotton fabric. The weaving, printing and stitching are done by rural firms.
