Kullakkar rice is an ancient rice variety, grown primarily in India. It is one of the red rice varieties grown in India.
This rice is indigenous to India. Naturally hardy and pest resistant,[1] it reduces the dependence on pesticides. [citation needed] It grows in a short amount of time, and therefore can be grown throughout the year. Different varieties have adapted themselves to different land conditions, from alkaline soil to saline soils, and from drought prone areas to waterlogged areas.
This rice is suitable for making idli, dosa and porridge.[2]
