Ranon’ampango

The most popular drink on the island is ranon'ampango. If you're used to quenching your thirst with water, try this drink instead.

This beverage is created after the rice has been cooked. The bottom of the saucepan is left with a thin layer of scorched rice that is heated with water. This drink is both practical and cost-effective, and it can be taken hot or cold. Although some people believe it has medicinal characteristics, it is the most cost-effective way to stay hydrated in sections of the island where drinking water is scarce. We can have white or brown ranon'ampango depending on how long the rice was cooked. Both will assist you in quenching your thirst.

You should be aware that there are many other types of rice available, including red rice, which is quite popular in the province of Fianarantsoa; nonetheless, white rice is the best choice for making "Ranon'ampango" in order to maintain the original flavor.
