Phaka-Um-Ple Rice, also known as Tamarind Flower Rice, is a unique native rice variety from Surin Province, located near the ThaiCambodian border.
It is recognized for its beautiful golden husk when ripe, resembling the color of blooming tamarind flowers hence its charming local name.
This traditional variety features slender, long grains and a soft, chewy texture with a light corn-like aroma when cooked.
It is also highly resilient to drought and pests, making it perfectly suited for organic farming in Surins fertile fields.
