Tulsi & Sehat · Rice bran oil
Cooking oil, made where the rice grows.
Rice bran is the papery layer taken off paddy at the mill. It spoils within hours, so we built our plants inside the Vidarbha rice belt and put 850 tonnes of it a day through extraction and refining — into the oil sold as Tulsi and Sehat.

How it is made
Every stage of a rice bran refinery is read as a colour.
Crude rice bran oil arrives dark, waxy and turbid. It leaves clear and pale gold. In between sit five operations — degumming, neutralisation, bleaching, winterisation, deodorisation — and each one is graded on a Lovibond tintometer against a fixed red and yellow scale. Move along the rack to read the plant.

The plants
Two units, ninety kilometres apart, on the paddy belt.
Rice bran spoils fast, so the plant has to sit inside the rice belt rather than near the port. Both units are in eastern Maharashtra, within collection distance of the mills that produce the bran, and both run on captive solar for a share of their load.
