Does it taste like regular rice?

Yes! Better Grain is a Sona Masoori variant — one of India's most popular daily-eating rices. Our customers consistently say they can't tell the difference. It cooks the same way, has the same texture, and absorbs curries and dal just like the rice you grew up eating.

What does "Low GI" mean, and why does it matter for diabetics?

GI (Glycemic Index) measures how quickly food raises blood sugar. Foods below 55 are "Low GI." Better Grain has a certified GI of 49, meaning it releases glucose slowly into your bloodstream — preventing the dangerous spikes that regular rice (GI 70-80) causes. This is clinically significant for diabetes management.

How is it milled?

Brown rice has a GI of 68 (still medium-high) and most people find it hard to eat daily due to its tough texture. Better Grain has a GI of 49 (truly low) while being white rice that's soft, fluffy, and easy to cook. The hand-pounding process retains the nutrient-rich bran layer without the "brown rice" chewiness.

Is it safe to eat Better Grain rice every day?

Absolutely. It's 100% natural rice — no genetic modification, no chemical treatment. It's simply a naturally occurring low-GI rice variety, hand-pounded to retain maximum nutrition. Many of our customers eat it for both lunch and dinner with excellent health results.

Who developed this rice variety?

The Rice from Better Grain is a Licensed Variety from IIRR (Indian Institute of Rice Research) under ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) — India's most respected agricultural research body. The GI certification is from accredited laboratories.

Can non-diabetic family members eat it too?

Yes, and we encourage it! Low GI rice is beneficial for everyone - it helps with weight management, sustained energy levels, and cardiovascular health. Many families tell us they've switched their entire household to Better Grain.

How should I cook it?

Cook it exactly like regular Sona Masoori rice. Use a 1:2 ratio (rice to water), soak for 20-30 minutes before cooking, and prepare in a pressure cooker or rice cooker. No special preparation needed.

What's the shelf life?

Better Grain rice has a shelf life of 6 months when stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Since it's hand-pounded and retains the bran layer, we recommend consuming it fresh for best taste and nutrition.
