Joha rice is a traditional aromatic rice variety primarily grown in the northeastern regions of India, particularly in Assam and West Bengal. Known for its unique fragrance and delicate texture, Joha rice is often used in various local dishes, including biryanis and pulaos. This rice is typically short-grained and has a slightly sticky consistency when cooked. It is prized not only for its flavor but also for its nutritional benefits, as it is rich in essential nutrients and is often considered a healthier alternative to other rice varieties.
