Bora rice
Bora rice is a traditional variety of rice primarily grown in the northeastern regions of India, particularly in Assam. Known for its unique aroma and flavor, Bora rice is often used in local dishes, especially during festivals and special occasions. It is a glutinous rice, which means it has a sticky texture when cooked, making it ideal for desserts and traditional recipes.
This rice variety is also valued for its nutritional benefits, as it is rich in carbohydrates and provides essential energy. Bora rice is typically harvested during the monsoon season and is an integral part of the cultural heritage of the Assamese people, reflecting their agricultural practices and culinary traditions.
