Jeerakasala rice is a unique type of rice that is grown and consumed mainly in Kerala. It is a short-grain rice that is known for its fragrant aroma, delicate flavour, and tender texture. The name "Jeerakasala" comes from the Malayalam language, which translates to "rice with cumin seeds."

One of the defining characteristics of Jeerakasala rice is its subtle and fragrant aroma, which is often described as similar to that of jasmine or basmati rice. This aroma is due to the natural essential oils that are present in the rice, which are released during cooking and add a pleasant and distinctive fragrance to the dish.

Jeerakasala rice is also known for its delicate flavour, which is slightly nutty and sweet with a hint of cumin. This flavour pairs well with a variety of different dishes.  Another unique aspect of Jeerakasala rice is its tender texture. The short grains of rice are softer and stickier than other types of rice, making them ideal for dishes such as biryanis, ghee rice, pulaos, and other rice-based dishes that require a soft and fluffy texture.

Jeerakasala rice is also a nutritious choice, as it is high in complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. It is also gluten-free, making it a good option for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
