In the heart of Maharashtra, where the air carries the scent of earth and tradition, there is rice that has been a part of the state’s food culture for centuries. Ambemohar is named for its delicate fragrance, reminiscent of mango blossoms. It is not just a grain - it is history, culture, and nostalgia served on a plate. Its rich aroma has spread through royal kitchens, sacred rituals, and the simple joys of everyday meals for centuries. But what makes Ambemohar rice so special? Let’s travel back in time to find out.

A Royal Feast That Made History

It was the early 1800s, and the Maratha empire was at its peak. Bajirao Peshwa, a name that echoes through our history books, decided to host a grand feast in Pune. More than 175,000 Brahmins were served a meal. At the heart of this feast was Ambemohar rice, sourced from the Maval-Mulshi region. It was chosen for its rich aroma and soft texture, making it perfect for such a royal gathering.

Even today, those very fields in the Pune district continue to nurture this precious grain. Farmers take care to preserve its original taste and fragrance. The same aroma that once filled royal kitchens now fills homes across Maharashtra.

The Heartbeat of Every Maharashtrian Kitchen

Ambemohar is more than rice - it’s a warm embrace, a childhood memory, a festival brought to life. Think of the comforting embrace of Varan Bhaat, the vibrant spices of Masale Bhaat, or the sweet Dudh Bhaat – each dish comes alive with Ambemohar's ability to absorb flavours, while keeping its gentle, soft texture.

What Makes Ambemohar Rice Truly Special?

Ambemohar rice lives up to its name with a natural, comforting aroma reminiscent of mango blossoms. Its fine grains and soft texture makes it easy to digest, and gentle on the stomach - making it suitable for all ages, from children to elders. Beyond its taste and fragrance, Ambemohar rice benefits the body with essential nutrients. Rich in carbohydrates, a good source of protein, and low in fat, it also provides vital minerals like iron, calcium, and zinc, making every meal both wholesome and nourishing.
