Nivara

नवपुराणशालि

The text distinguishes between new rice (Nava Shali) and old rice (Purana Shali). New rice is heavy, Kapha-increasing, and harder to digest. Old rice (minimum one year) is light, easily digestible, and therapeutically superior. The longer rice is stored (up to a point), the better its medicinal qualities become. This applies to all rice varieties. Verses: 10-11.
