Product Overview
Ofada Rice is a premium variety of unpolished short-grain rice known for its rich aroma, distinctive taste, and high nutritional value. Unlike conventional white rice, Ofada retains its bran layer, making it a healthy whole grain. It is traditionally grown and widely consumed as a delicacy in many African homes and diaspora communities, often served with Ofada sauce or other native stews.
