These traditional varieties of rice are on the verge of extinction from farm fields

As many as 12 folk varieties of Indian rice examined by researchers can supplement the nutritional demand of important fatty acids in undernourished mothers, a recent study has claimed.

These can further supplement the arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in neonates through breast-feeding. DHA and ARA are fatty acids found in breast milk, as well as in some foods, like fish and eggs.

These rice varieties can be more cost-effective and reliable than marketed formula foods, according to the study published in Current Science and titled Rare and neglected rice landraces as a source of fatty acids for undernourished infants.

The study looked at the nutritionally important fatty acids (FA) in 94 indigenous rice landraces / varieties of India, which are at the risk of disappearing. They are cultivated by a few marginal farmers.
