Sonchur rice is characteristic
Speaking of the specialty of Sonchur rice, this small grain is known for its very fragrant rice and its flavor and sweet, soft and aromatic glass (beaten rice). It is also known as Poha and in a normal conversation, it is called Chira or Chuda, which is eaten with yogurt. The ripe rice of the desert is bloated, not adhesive, sweet and easily digested and its fragrant is like popcorn. This is the reason why it is very demanding. In view of this demand, for this, the GI is justifying the tax.(Ranjan Kumar Input)
