Recently Something shown on INDIA TV send shivers all over me. It was shown live and there was everything happening infront of  my eyes. It is something concerning to each and every one of us and thus I thought i shall put it here on the blog as an awareness to all those who loves BASMATI RICE AND BIRIYANI.

They have shown how some people around Delhi clean the rice to make it white and shining. For this process they use one of the most dangerous substance called ASBESTOS's in powder form. Asbestos is banned in almost all developed country's since it is a CANCER producing agent,but here the rice is being mixed with ASBESTOS  and TALCUM POWDER and rubbed together to get those shining whiteness.

IF we think that the Goverment will take some action against such adulteration then we are living in a fool's paradise. I am quite sure that as usual there will be some bigwigs behind this too. So dear friends we have no choice but take care of ourselves by avoiding those shining white rise and opt for little brownish original once. once everybody stops buying white rice then obviously they have no chOice but stop going for that extra whiteness. even the smell of ASBESTOS can cause CANCER, so you can imagine the seriousness of this. Think of our Kids. If such adulterations goes unchecked most of our citizen will be patients in the near future.

If anyone wants to buy such rice, pl. make sure that you clean it number of times before use. there are other options also for those who loves biriyani. There is a small rice from Coorg area which is also used as biriyani rice but make sure that is not shining much. Always remember that Whiteness or shining of the rice has got nothing to do with the tatste of  Biriyani. In fact the famous Calicut Biriyani is made of this Tiny rise from Coorg. SO GET CLOSER TO NATURE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

Remember those words '' EAT TO LIVE AND NOT LIVE TO EAT"
