Description

This is a reddish-brown rice variety with a unique texture. It is low in carbohydrates and rich in protein and fiber. Ma-Wee is also proven to have a 25% to 30% lower glycemic index (GI) than other common rice varieties. It is 84.5% carbohydrates, 9.4% protein, 3.6% fat, and 1.1% fiber. Ma-Wee rice is best when soaked prior to boiling. One traditional dish calls for the rice to be cooked with chopped spring onion and leeks, and served with a bottle of gourd sauteed in spices and coconut milk. Ma-Wee was loved by the queens of Sri Lanka, who believed it helped them maintain a trim, shapely figure. Ma-Wee is also revered for its historical importance in religious ceremonies. According to folklore, Ma-Wee has been placed in the caskets of sacred relics and the pinnacle (Kotha) of dagabas.
