Anadi rice

Anadi rice is a traditional glutinous rice native to Nepal's middle hills, known for its sticky texture and nutritional benefits. It is commonly used in traditional dishes like "Latte" and is valued for both its culinary and medicinal properties, making it popular among local consumers.

Anadi rice is primarily grown in rainfed conditions across Nepal’s diverse ecological zones. Despite challenges in productivity, it remains a key part of the Nepali diet, contributing significantly to calorie intake. Its unique flavor, texture, and higher nutrient levels compared to hybrid varieties make it a preferred choice, reflecting changing consumer preferences toward quality rice.
