Legend of the High Hills
Authentic Jumli Marsi Rice (मार्सी चामल)
Jumla’s Marsi Rice is globally recognized for growing at altitudes above 2,600 meters—fed directly by ice-cold glacial snowmelt. With an arduous 8-month growing cycle, each grain slowly absorbs the minerals and resilience of the Himalayas.
Our Marsi Rice is completely unpolished, retaining its signature reddish bran layer. Unlike mass-milled commercial rice, it preserves its natural oils, iron, and fiber, yielding a satisfying chew and a sweet, nutty fragrance.
Key Health Benefits
- Anthocyanin Antioxidants: The reddish bran is packed with natural plant compounds that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Sustained Energy & Low GI: High fiber ensures steady glucose absorption, making it far superior to polished white varieties.
- Rich in Essential Minerals: Provides zinc, iron, and magnesium to support immunity and daily vitality.
Culinary Suggestions
- Traditional Jumli Bhaat: Soak for 30–45 minutes before cooking with 2 cups of water per cup of rice until tender; finish with a spoonful of pure cow ghee.
- Marsi Kheer: Simmer slowly in whole milk with green cardamom, saffron, and almonds for a royal, nutrient-dense dessert.
- Pairing: Complements Jumli Simi Dal, wild mushroom curries, and sour radish pickles.
