Kashmir Red Rice

Kashmir Red, also known as Zag Tamul, is a landrace variety from the Kashmir region of India. There are many variations of this rice ranging from solid red bran, to brown bran and some in between. The variant I received from a farmer in Kashmir, is a mix of both red and brown kernels. This variety is known for being very nutritious and is traditionally consumed unpolished, with the bran intact. The plants are very tall and can lodge if not supported. This is an awned variety that matures at 115 - 120 days from transplanting.
This variety did well under upland rice conditions.
