Suwandel rice (also spelled Suwandhal, in Sinhala: සුවඳැල්) is a rare, traditional Sri Lankan rice variety known for its unique aromatic fragrance, fine texture, and high nutritional and medicinal value. It's considered one of the most prestigious "white heirloom rices" (කිරිසීනු වලින් උපන් පැරණි බත් වර්ග) cultivated organically, especially in areas like Ampara, Kurunegala, and Polonnaruwa
