KARUPPU KAVUNI ARISI

Egkam’s Karuppu Kavuni Arisi is a traditional black rice variety grown using natural, chemical-free methods. Revered in ancient Tamil culture for its medicinal value and unique taste, this rice is packed with anthocyanins — potent antioxidants also found in blueberries.

It is known to promote blood circulation, reduce inflammation, strengthen bones, and improve skin health. With its slightly chewy texture and earthy, nutty flavor, it is perfect for porridges, desserts, and even rice-based meals.

Naturally gluten-free and unpolished — it retains all the nutrients of the bran layer, making it an excellent addition to a health-focused diet.

🌾 How to Use:

Soak for 8–12 hours for better cooking and digestion.

Use to prepare sweet dishes like kavuni arisi payasam or pudding.

Can be used in savory recipes like rice bowls, idiyappam, or even idlis.

Cook with coconut milk, jaggery, or herbs for enhanced flavor.

⚠ Note:

Takes longer to cook than regular white rice — pressure cooking recommended.

Naturally rich in color — may release purple hue while cooking (this is normal).

Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.

No polishing, no artificial colors, and no preservatives.

Egkam Trusted Brands bring you heirloom rice varieties with their full nutritional profile — bridging the wisdom of tradition with the needs of modern wellness.
