Karuppu Kavuni Rice

Karuppu Kavuni Rice (also known as Black Rice) is a rare and ancient rice variety from Tamil Nadu, once reserved for royalty due to its exceptional nutritional value. This deep black–purple rice is rich in natural antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which give it its distinctive color.

Unlike regular rice, Karuppu Kavuni is typically unpolished, retaining its outer bran layer and dense nutrition. When cooked, it turns dark purple, slightly chewy, and aromatic, with a nutty flavor profile.

Traditionally, it is used in special dishes and desserts, such as sweet rice preparations, but it can also be consumed as a staple for those seeking high-nutrient, whole-grain alternatives.
