- Product Info :
Meghalaya Collective's Red Rice or U Khaw Saw comes from the pesticide-free paddy fields of
Lawbah in Mawsynram. Red Rice is the staple ingredient in most Meghalayan lunches and is beloved
by our long-distance runners. The rice is hulled traditionally by women who pound the rice in large
wooden mortar and pestles made from the Dieng Laphiang or White Teak. The wood from this is specially
selected because of its mailable and anti-termite nature. Teak has many health benefits.
