Description:
Sivappu Cholam, also known as Red Corn, is a traditional whole grain prized for its vibrant natural color and nutrient density. Rich in anthocyanins—the natural red pigments with powerful antioxidant properties—this grain offers a range of health benefits that make it a smart addition to a balanced diet.
It is naturally gluten-free, high in dietary fiber, and a good source of iron, B-complex vitamins, and essential minerals, making it excellent for boosting immunity, improving blood circulation, and supporting heart and digestive health. Its low glycemic index also makes it suitable for diabetics and those seeking healthier carbohydrate alternatives.
Red corn has a slightly chewy texture and deep, earthy flavor, making it ideal for traditional dishes like kanji (porridge), puttu, upma, dosai, and even rice-based meals. It can also be ground into flour for making rotis, snacks, and other gluten-free recipes.
Naturally grown without harmful chemicals, Sivappu Cholam is a wholesome, heritage grain that supports both nutrition and sustainability.
