Bamboo rice / Moongil arisi is a super healthy and nutritious rice variety. It is actually the seed that is produced by a flowering bamboo at the end of its life span. Its flowering pattern may vary up to 100 years. Bamboo rice is considered to be a forest produce and in most places only the local tribals are allowed to collect these seeds.
Bamboo rice is a miraculous grain with lots of health benefits like high protein content than regular rice and wheat, good for joint pains, lowers cholesterol, manage blood pressure, good source of Vitamin B6 and it has anti diabetic properties.
There are no visible side effects for this rice but people who has thyroid disorders or people who take medicines for Thyroid should avoid taking this rice as it may interfere with the action of medicine and decrease its levels too much.
