Aromatic heirloom · white
Suwandel is one of Sri Lanka's most treasured traditional rice varieties — a soft, aromatic white grain whose name literally means 'fragrant'. Grown in small heritage plots and milled gently to keep its natural perfume intact, it cooks into a fluffy, lightly sweet rice that has graced temple almsgivings and celebration tables for generations.

“Made the softest kiribath I've ever managed on Avurudu morning.”
“Smells exactly like my grandmother's kitchen. You can tell it was milled days ago, not months ago.”
