Mushk Budji Rice

Mushk Budji is a rare short grain variety from the Himilayan foothills of the Kashmir region of India. It grows at high altitudes and is known for being cold tolerant. This is a fragrant rice with a nutty flavor and unique texture, excellent for Biryani, pilaf and pulao. This variety can lodge under windy conditions with heavy rainfall if not supported. It matured at 115 days after transplanting in the spring. This landrace almost went extinct before being rescued and is now seeing a resurgence of interest. 
This variety did well under upland rice conditions.
