Amba Mor Rice
Ambemohar is low-yielding compared to other rice variants. It is about (1.9 ton/h), the grains are short in size (approximately 5.5 mm) and their width is (approximately 2.2 mm).
The weight of this rice grain, however, is high. The fragile short grains of Ambemohar rice look round and small. They fluff up once cooked and tend to get glued (stuck) together. They easily break and so are considered ideal for elders and kids.
The word Ambemohar means mango blossom in the Marathi language which is spoken in the state of Maharashtra where the cultivar originates from. The rice has a strong aroma reminiscent of mango blossoms. Rice has been cultivated in the region for a long time.
