The forbidden grain. Rich. Rare. Remarkable
Karuppu Kavuni, also known as Black Kavuni Rice, is a revered heritage rice celebrated for its striking deep purple-to-black colour and rich cultural legacy. Once associated with royalty and traditionally considered a rare grain, this indigenous rice has a naturally rich, mildly sweet and nutty flavour with a firm, pleasantly chewy texture when cooked. Its distinctive colour and character make it a standout ingredient for both traditional and contemporary cuisine, lending itself beautifully to steamed rice, desserts, porridges, savoury bowls, and creative rice-based preparations.
