Karuppu Kavuni Flattened Rice 200 gm

Karuppu Kavuni (Black Rice) was once known as "Forbidden Rice," reserved exclusively for royalty due to its extraordinary life-extending properties. Biologically, its deep purple hue is a result of a massive concentration of Anthocyanins—the same powerful antioxidants found in blueberries—which support heart health and combat oxidative stress far more effectively than any white or brown rice variant.

💡 How to Prepare / Use (Step-by-Step)

    Prep: Karuppu Kavuni is a dense, hardy grain. Rinse the flakes twice in a strainer, then soak them in clean water for 12–15 minutes. The water will turn a deep purple—this is the natural antioxidant pigment and is a sign of true purity.

    Method: Drain the excess water (you can use the purple water for plants or smoothies!). For a savory preparation, sauté with spices and vegetables, then add the soaked flakes and steam on low heat for 5–7 minutes until they are tender yet distinct.

    Serve/Enjoy: Best enjoyed as a nutritious Kavuni Aval Upma or mixed with coconut milk and palm sugar for a traditional Kavuni Sweet that is both a dessert and a health tonic.
