Bamboo rice, also known as Mulayari or Moongil Arisi in Tamil, is a unique variety of rice that is not actually produced from the bamboo plant itself. Instead, it is a special type of rice grain that is found inside the flowering part of the bamboo plant.

Bamboo rice is a unique and rare type of rice that is not a distinct rice variety itself but rather a product derived from the seeds of flowering bamboo plants. When certain species of bamboo flower and produce seeds, these seeds are collected and processed to create what is known as bamboo rice.

This type of rice is different from traditional rice varieties and is primarily found in regions where bamboo plants naturally grow, such as parts of Asia and Africa.
