The story

Navara is not really a rice you eat for hunger. For two thousand years, Ayurvedic physicians have prescribed it for recovery — for new mothers, for the elderly, for anyone whose body needs rebuilding.

It grows in just 60 days, the grains are tiny and reddish. Each spoonful is dense with what older texts simply called 'strength'.
