### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ QUALITY PRODUCES OF OUR ANCIENT RICE FOR HEALTHY LIVING!!!!
*by R***A on April 2, 2023*

Awesome to find the Ancient Red rice on Amazon. Our family have always been a big fan of feeding on the ancient rice and were looking for options. Since we feel that "Health is Wealth". We have been eating the produce of Rigel spices ( Maappilai Samba, Poongar, Seeraga Samba ) over the last 3 years when it was made available in Frisco, TX. Prior to that we have tried couple of options but were never satisfied with the quality for the price that we pay. But produces from Rigel Spices are of the BEST QUALITY AND TASTE. Our Kids love the Idlies and Dosa made out of the red rice ( Maappilai Samba, Poongar) and the Biriyani, Pulav, variety rices made out of Seeraga Samba.. We also try different Indian dishes using the Red rice and that itself is a separate blog activity on another day..We were so HAPPY to see the Rigel Spices produce made available through Amazon too. Since - it make it easier sometimes when the stock is not there with the distributors/retail ( due to the demand ) and it is so convenient to have it delivered directly to your home at one click.Yes - it might look that the price is slightly high. But if we dont invest in our HEALTH now, we might end spending for the doctors, medicine and end up late realization with all the pain, losing all the time.So, Better Invest in HEALTHY living by eating QUALITY PRODUCES for a graceful future.THANKS SO MUCH for bringing back these ancient rices at our door step. We often dont realize all the hard work and efforts put in by the farmers to get the food on our plates.RESPECT, APPRECIATE AND SUPPORT FARMERS WHO STRIVE HARD TO BRING THESE QUALITY AND TASTY PRODUCES FOR A HEALTHY LIVING OF EACH ONE OF US, SO WE CAN STEP INTO GRACEFUL FUTURE!!!!!!

### ⭐ The Bag [Rigel Spices] poongar red rice, 4lbs -- smelled horrible, like faint smell of funeral home.
*by A***R on May 13, 2023*

This bag of [Rigel Spices] poongar red rice (4_lbs) -- smelled like as my children would describe - as a dead person. When I smelled the bag, it had a faint smell of a funeral home in the fabric. It turned my stomach immediately into knots all around, to the point where I couldn't eat for the next couple of hours.These sellers must be careful of where they're storing food that they're selling to the public. They cannot dump their old products or that of their family or friends off on unsuspecting customers ordering online. We don't get to see, touch, or smell the product in person, in exchange for the convenience of home delivery/office delivery, or for delivery to a relative or friend that is elderly, disabled, feeble, or sickly ... to assist them at times with a simple chore here or there, that can temporarily alleviate their hardship of grocery shopping, that may seem much easier for many of us to do.That product has to be rid of in the cellar canceled about selling awful condition products that might look good online and in pictures, but smell horrible or offensive.
