I have only been used to idlis that are white in colour. But off-late I have started trying idly and dosa that are red or other colours! At reStore we have made a special idly rice, combining several traditional rices: Kattuyanam, Poongar, Iluppaipoo Samba, Kichali Samba raw and boiled, and Karunguruvai. These red unpolished rices are very nutritious; the texture of idly and dosa made from this idly rice feels very similar to the white versions I have been used to!

I had never seen golden apples growing up, only red and green! These golden apples have a distinct taste, sweet and crispy. Grown at altitudes of 9000 to 11700 feet in Upper Kinnaur, organic apples are a special seasonal treat. They are carefully transported in temperature-controlled trucks and stocked in Chennai to best preserve their crispness and flavour. Our Apples are from the Orchards of Kinnaur district, Himachal pradesh.

Varagu / Kodo millet was introduced to India approximately 3000 years ago. This hardy grain is grown extensively in the Deccan plateau and thrives in nutritionally-poor and non-irrigated areas, making its cultivation remarkably energy-efficient. Varagu grain has very high fiber content. It gives a full feeling without loading carbs, contains 11% protein, and antioxidants. It is versatile and dishes, such as plain rice, pongal, idly, vegetable baath, variety rice can be made with it. In rava form it can be made into uppuma. Our unpolished varagu are grown by Nammalvar Organic Millet Farmers Producer Organization, Perambalur.
