Shashya Prabartana Hatekata Semai uses Atapa and Chinigura rice flour hand-rolled into individual strands. These dry vermicelli pieces maintain a firm texture during boiling for traditional milk-based desserts. Each 250g pack lacks chemical preservatives and synthetic additives.
Key Features
- Manual Production: 100% handmade without mechanical extruders. Traditional hand-rolling creates irregular textures that hold liquid better than factory-pressed variants.
- Rice Flour Blend: Chinigura and Atapa rice flour composition. Fragrant Chinigura rice adds scent while Atapa starch prevents the strands from breaking.
- Chemical-Free Processing: Process excludes bleaching agents and synthetic preservatives. Natural white color remains stable even under heavy humidity conditions.
- Organic Sourcing: Raw grains originate from Nayakrishi Andolon farmer movements. This sourcing eliminates pesticide residues common in commercial rice production.
