Chokuwa saul is a variety of semi-glutinous rice found in Assam, India. The sticky rice of Assam is traditionally classified as bora (glutinous) and chokuwa (semi-glutinous) based on their stickiness after cooking.[1] It has an important role in Assam and for the Indigenous Assamese.[2]
In 2016, an organization called Seuj Satirtha in Sivasagar district in collaboration with the Assam Agricultural University applied for geographical recognition of chokuwa rice.[3] The 124th edition of the journal published by the Geographical Identification Registration Department of the Government of India on 24 October 2019 granted a geographical indication (GI) tag to chokuwa rice.[4]
