Telugu Foods Brown Roasted Wheat Rava 1 KG is rava milled from whole wheat rather than from the refined heart of the grain, then roasted. The bran is what makes it brown, and what makes it taste of more than ordinary sooji does.

It is used exactly as white rava is, in upma, in a savoury pongal style dish, in kichadi. The result is darker and nuttier, and households that have moved to whole wheat atta usually make the same move here. It is also more filling for the same volume, so the portions go further.

What is brown rava? Rava made from the whole wheat grain with the bran left in, rather than from the refined endosperm alone. Godhuma rava is the Telugu name you will see for it. It is the same idea as wholemeal against white flour.

Can I swap it straight for white rava? In upma and kichadi, yes, one for one. It absorbs a touch more water, so add a little extra and expect a heavier result. In a sweet like sooji halwa the bran taste is more noticeable, and not everyone wants it there.

The plain raw version, Annam unroasted rava, is on the shelf if you prefer to roast your own, and the full rava range runs from fine sooji to coarse idly rava. Vegetarian. Keep it sealed and dry, and look through the pack before you use it, because rava draws weevils faster than flour does.
