Sticky Pink Rice, 500g

The Product

Sticky rice is a staple cereal grain in many Asian countries and is said to have a large number of health benefits including high levels of protein, as well as roughly 170 calories per cup of cooked rice. The rice grains themselves are uniquely opaque, and they take on a very sticky consistency when cooked. This makes the rice very popular as sushi rice and for other dishes that are traditionally eaten with chopsticks!

Your Impact

Give your meal a tasty makeover with this highly nutritious Sticky Pink Rice! This rice is free from any additives, colours, chemicals or preservatives. By supporting Umang , you're backing an organisation focused on improving the lives and livelihoods of marginalised farming communities negatively impacted by the degradation of fragile ecosystems in the Himalaya. The establishment of on-farm and off-farm pro-poor business ventures run primarily by hill women of the Kumaon region, is helping to improve food security, economic security, and check out-migration in the region. The primary shareholders of Umang are members of Self Help Groups located in over 200 tiny hamlets spread across the Gagas and Kosi river basins. These SHGs form the bedrock of livelihood development and sustainable change in the region. By supporting Umang, you too become a part of the movement to improve the economy and ecology of the Himalayan community.

Why We Like It

This sticky pick rice when cooked with coconut milk, yields a gooey fudge that we cannot resist! We also love that Umang  is run by a woman-only unit where women from the local Himalayan community are employed and trained in order to build their capacity and better their chances of employability.

Serene Says

If you want to go for something nutrtitious and healthy, switching the rice you use is a great solution! Use this whole sticky pink rice instead of regular polished rice or eat it in a salad with veggies and nuts.
