                                Known locally as Hangimuttan, meaning 'hide-and-seek' in Sinhalese because its grains grow hidden within the leaves, Ceylon pearl rice is a unique heirloom variety cultivated in Sri Lanka for centuries. This ancestral grain is cherished for its delicate, milky taste and high nutritional value.
