Why do i get different rice every time, though i buy same Brand?
All rice mills process the rice on a monthly basis, and they buy their raw materials from different regions. Though the variety of rice is same they can not guarantee the same rice. OneBasket links farmers to consumers, hence you get the same grain from the same farm every single time.
Dals, why do some of them look dull ?
In the olden days all dals were hand processed and tasted great, however they were not polished or processed. Today a lot of mills polish the dals to make them look good. The polish is done with low grade oil and sometimes with added colour. The dull dals are actually the most healthy. OneBasket sells only unpolished and 0% colour added dals.
Is brown rice organic ?
Rice is one of the toughest to cultivate organically due to its high water requirement. So a lot of sellers will sell brown rice as organic. Brown rice could be organic or pesticide grown, it is just not polished enough to remove all the husk. Brown rice is good for health but it is not a proof of being organic.
