Brown rice generally has a lower glycemic impact than polished white rice because it contains more fiber. People with diabetes can include brown rice in their diet as part of balanced meals, but portion control and advice from a healthcare professional are recommended.
Soaking is optional but recommended. Soaking brown rice for 30 to 60 minutes can reduce cooking time and produce softer, fluffier rice while helping it cook more evenly.

Excellent product received in good condition. Started using. Very good taste.
The rice varieties including the sample powdered rice and millet were very fresh and good standard.Thankyou very much. I would appreciate it if you could provide 1 kg,2 or 3kg slots in the order section for mangoes also.
The quality of your products are good
I liked your sincerity. When I got in touch with you, about a missing item in a parcel you have immediately checked and dispatched. I will tell everybody about your website and will continue to buy your products. Great going Salem Mango
Good product and prompt delivery
I've noticed a difference between the sample brown rice and the recent purchase. The sample rice, once cooked, stayed fresh even the next day. However, the recently purchased batch tends to spoil by the next day. Additionally, the new batch takes longer to cook compared to the sample

Experience is good. Products well received. Delivery time should have been bit lower. I regularly consume honey for my personal use. Please check if some better price can be offered to me.

I was searching on the internet for ghee from southern cows. And I came across Salammango website. I was very pleased and surprised at the products they are offering. I got the ghee and Sesame oil. Both are excellent. I also got brown rice. The quality and taste is very good. I am sure that I will be one of their regular customer. Sushama
Reminds us of olden days good quality
From order to delivery, everything was perfect. Shipping cost seems value added to the product. Can think of selling offline to whoever wishes/passes your location
From order to delivery everything is perfect. Courier charges adds more on material cost. Think about that. Can offer direct purchase too to whoever pass through your location
Mangoes were tasty. Please maintain this good quality in sourcing. Ordered 3kgs. But quantity seemed to be less. I did not have a weigh machine to check actual weight. Hope these are checked before shipping. Thanks. I will be ordering again soon👍
Good We are happy
Overall good. Would be great if you could reduce the delivery charges. I had few more items in my cart but looking at the total delivery charges I removed them. Otherwise the mangoes are good and I regularly order with you guys every year.
