🍚 Karuppu Kavuni Rice
Ancient Grain | Nutrient-Dense | Naturally Gluten-Free
(கருப்பு கவுனி அரிசி)
Description:
Karuppu Kavuni Rice, also known as Black Kavuni Rice, is a heritage rice variety native to Tamil Nadu. Once served exclusively to royal families and warriors, this rice is known for its deep black-purple color, chewy texture, and powerful health benefits. Its natural pigment is due to a high concentration of anthocyanins, the same antioxidant found in blueberries and blackberries.
Rich in iron, fiber, protein, and antioxidants, Karuppu Kavuni supports heart health, blood circulation, digestion, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Being naturally gluten-free, it is an excellent choice for people with gluten sensitivity or those seeking healthier alternatives to white rice.
It requires soaking before cooking and can be used in various dishes like kanji (porridge), payasam, dosa batter, idiyappam, upma, or even health-based desserts. Its slightly nutty flavor and dense texture make it both nutritious and satisfying.
