Surti Kolam rice is a rich source of essential nutrients, including vitamin A and C, as well as sodium.It is greatly admired for its pristine, soft, non-sticky texture and taste. When cooked, it releases a distinctive floral aroma akin to Basmati but milder. The grains are medium-to short in size and easily absorbed in the body.

The most distinctive feature of this rice is that when cooked, the grains become tender and chewable. It is as an ideal alternative to the Basmati rice and can be enjoyed as an everyday substitute.
