Description
Araikkal Karuppu Kavuni Rice is a traditional and highly prized variety of black rice grown in Tamil Nadu, India. Known for its unique colour, rich nutritional profile and cultural significance, this rice has been cultivated for centuries and is often called “black rice” or “forbidden rice”. It has a deep, black-purple colour that turns a rich purple when cooked.
Usage Instructions:
Washing: Wash the Karuppu Kavuni rice thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt and excess starch. Since the rice has a thicker bran layer, it may need a few rinses until the water runs clear.
Cooking ratio: For every 1 cup of Karuppu Kavuni rice, use 2.5 to 3 cups of water, depending on the desired texture. The rice needs slightly more water than regular white rice to cook properly.
