Questions people ask

How much rice does one person eat in a month?

An adult who eats rice for lunch and dinner uses roughly 5 to 6 kg of raw rice a month. Children usually eat about 60% of that.

How is this calculated?

We assume about 90 g of raw rice per adult per rice meal, 60 g of idli rice and 20 g of urad dal per adult for each tiffin day, and count a child as 0.6 of an adult. It is a planning estimate, so adjust for your family.

Which rice should I buy?

Use whatever your family cooks with. Stores on Tamizhshopper list ponni, raw rice, boiled rice and idli rice in different pack sizes, and you can compare prices between stores.
