Ajara Ghansal
Ajara Ghansal is a legendary, indigenous aromatic rice variety grown primarily in the Ajara region of Kolhapur district, Maharashtra, India. Renowned for its delicate fragrance, fine grain, and distinct taste, it holds a prestigious place in Maharashtrian culinary heritage.
In recognition of its unique regional qualities and historical lineage, Ajara Ghansal was granted a Geographical Indication (GI) Tag in 2016.
Aroma & Flavor: Known for a subtle, sweet fragrance (similar to, yet distinct from, Basmati) that intensifies during cooking.
Grain Appearance: Short to medium-thin grains with a translucent, off-white appearance.
Texture: Non-sticky, soft, and easy to digest after cooking.
Nutritional Value: Rich in dietary fiber, iron, and essential minerals compared to mass-market polished white rices.
