Heritage rice, palm jaggery sweets in demand this Deepavali

Spirit of the Earth’s Deepavali special edition hampers has four types of heritage rice snacks. Jayanthi Somasundaram of Spirit of The Earth says that the handcrafted rice snacks are perfect to welcome the festive season. “We are curating a hamper of heritage rice as some of our favourite snacks. This year, we’ve got rice flakes muesli, blended brown rice crackers, heritage rice savoury chivda mixture and red rice (mappilai samba) and beetroot ribbons. For the mixture, we have used bakul phool rice, coconut chips, groundnuts, moringa powder, groundnuts, beetroot powder, and more. We have not used any processed sugar or preservatives to make these snacks. Baked brown rice crackers are made with a variety of brown rice and ragi. It can be had with cheese or any dips. This is also a great tea-time snack. “In addition to the rice, all items are sourced from small farms and producers and made without any processed sugar or preservatives. These can be customised according to your choice as well,” says Jayanthi. The sweet and savoury heritage rice treats come with a brief note on the grain, along with ingredients sourced from small farms. To order hampers, contact 95000 82142.
