A familiar rice choice, made better for everyday meals.

RNR 15048, popularly known as Telangana Sona, is our practical choice for people who still love the comfort and taste of regular rice, but want a better everyday option. It is familiar, versatile, and easy to use across sambar rice, curd rice, lemon rice, tomato rice, pulao, and light biryani. Published variety-level research has also classified RNR 15048 / Telangana Sona as a low glycemic index rice variety, with reported GI values around 51.0–51.72. We refer to this as a published variety-level reference, not as a MadeBetter batch-tested claim.

The MadeBetter way: Hand-pounded to retain more of the grain, RO-water cleaned for better hygiene, and carefully sorted for a cleaner cooking experience. That means less work before cooking, while still giving you a soft, fluffy, non-sticky, separate finish — the kind of rice that fits naturally into everyday meals.

Fun fact: RNR 15048 is not just a market name or generic rice label. It is a named modern rice variety developed from MTU 1010 and JGL 3855, released by Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University, and widely known as Telangana Sona.

FAQs

MadeBetter Special Rice is our better version of regular rice.

It is made for people who love the taste and comfort of rice, but still want better hygiene, better processing, better texture, and a more thoughtful everyday choice.

Choose Special Rice if you want to continue eating rice, but in a better way.

It is made for people who love rice and do not want to compromise on taste, but still care about hygiene, fibre, better processing, fluffy texture, and everyday food quality.

We believe Fluffy Millets, Biriyani Millets, and Millet Flakes are better everyday choices for nutrition.

But we also understand that some people are very particular about rice — its taste, texture, and familiarity.

So, with Special Rice, we try to make regular rice as better as possible instead of asking everyone to completely switch away from it.

Regular rice is often highly polished and may lose much of its outer bran layer.

MadeBetter Special Rice is hand-pounded to retain some of the bran, auto-cleaned, optically sorted, and specially processed for fluffy cooking and better flavour absorption.

Special Rice is not fully polished like regular white rice.

It is hand-pounded, which helps retain some of the bran layer. This gives you more fibre and natural nutrition compared to heavily polished rice, while still keeping the rice enjoyable for regular meals.

Hand-pounded rice is rice that is gently processed instead of being heavily polished.

This helps retain part of the bran layer, where fibre and many natural nutrients are present. It is a better middle path for people who want rice, but do not want over-polished rice.

Yes.

Our Special Rice is RO water cleaned and optically sorted to remove dust, impurities, and uneven grains. We give the same level of attention to hygiene that you would expect in your own kitchen.

We only want the best to reach your kitchen.

Yes.

MadeBetter Special Rice is specially processed to support fluffy cooking, better grain separation, and a pleasant eating texture.

It is made for people who want rice that cooks well and works beautifully in everyday meals.

Yes.

We have gelatinised the starch to absorb flavour better, making it suitable for sambar rice, rasam rice, curd rice, variety rice, pulao, biriyani-style dishes, and everyday meals.

The aim is simple — rice that does not just fill the plate, but carries flavour properly.

Many traditional and less-polished rice varieties are known to have a relatively lower glycemic index compared to regular polished white rice.

However, glycemic response can change based on the rice variety, cooking method, portion size, and what you eat it with. So, we see Special Rice as a better rice choice, not a medical substitute.
