If your order includes items from more than one manufacturer, you will receive multiple deliveries. Because we are dependent on the on-hand inventory of our manufacturing partners, some items listed on our site may not actually be available right away. Please call us at 888.784.4644 or via our contact form with any stocking questions and we'll get in touch with the appropriate manufacturer for answers, before you place your order.Ground Shipping
Small parcel items ship regular ground via delivery services such as FedEx, UPS or DHL. Orders typically take 2-3 business days to process and in-stock items will usually be delivered 3-5 days from the date that they ship (depending on origin and destination). If there is a delay, you will be notified by email. No signature is required for standard ground shipping, so you may want to make arrangements to have packages brought inside soon after delivery, if you are unable to receive it in person.Description
Heritage rice variety with medicinal properties and distinct aroma.
Product summary = The authentic specialty rice from Chanpatia, Bihar, is the Marcha Rice (also known as Mircha or Marchaiya), which was officially awarded the Geographical Indication (GI) tag on 31 July 2023. While Chanpatia is also known for producing aromatic Basmati rice, Marcha Rice is the region’s unique indigenous variety, Producing Areas: Cultivation is concentrated in six blocks of the West Champaran district: Chanpatia, Mainatand, Gaunaha, Narkatiaganj, Ramnagar, and Lauriya.
Environmental Factors: The rice develops its distinct aroma due to the local agro-climatic conditions along the Burhi-Gandak and Sikarahna rivers, where the soil is enriched by Himalayan mineral runoff.
Yield & Maturity: The crop typically matures in 140–150 days with an average yield of 20–25 quintals per hectare
Key Benefits = Fragrant, ideal for biryani
Appearance: The grains are short and oval, bearing a strong resemblance to black pepper (hence the name Marcha or Mircha).
Aroma & Taste: It is highly prized for its unique, sweet, and popcorn-like fragrance that remains present from the seedling stage through to the final cooked grain.
Texture: Once cooked, the rice is fluffy, non-sticky, and easily digestible.
Specialty Use: It is exceptionally famous for making high-quality, aromatic Marcha Ka Chura (flattened rice), which is soft and sweet
