Historical story behind this divine rice
This rice also known as Bhuddha Rice as this is a rare, ancient and aromatic rice of Siddharthnagar district, Uttar Pradesh, formerly the land of Lord Buddha – Kapilvastu, the Kalanamak cultivation almost dates back to 600BC.
The history of the rice goes that after enlightenment when Lord Buddha crossed Siddharthnagar, locals stopped to take his blessings and asked for some prasad, that’s when he just took a handful of paddy and gave it to them. He said “Sow it …it has a special aroma…The fragrance will always remind people of me,”
Beauty of the rice is that if its grown at some other part of the world, it looses its aroma. This has got a GI Tag from Gov of India in 2013.
