Thulasi Thanjavur Karuppu Kavuni Rice – 5kg A Royal Grain of Strength, Heritage & Healing

Thulasi Karuppu Kavuni Rice is a rare and revered black rice variety cultivated in the fertile lands of Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu. Once reserved for royalty in ancient Tamil kingdoms, this 5kg pack brings you the same nutrient-rich grain that was prized for its medicinal value, deep color, and earthy aroma. Known as “The Forbidden Rice,” Karuppu Kavuni is packed with antioxidants, iron, and dietary fiber, making it one of the most powerful superfoods in traditional South Indian cuisine.

Naturally grown and unpolished, Thulasi’s Karuppu Kavuni retains its outer bran layer, which is rich in anthocyanins—the same antioxidants found in blueberries and blackberries. This makes it a potent grain for boosting immunity, improving skin health, and supporting heart function.

 

🌾 What Is Karuppu Kavuni Rice?

Karuppu Kavuni (Black Kavuni) is an ancient rice variety native to Tamil Nadu, especially the Thanjavur delta. Its deep purple-black hue comes from anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants. Unlike white rice, Karuppu Kavuni is unpolished and whole-grain, retaining its bran and germ layers for maximum nutrition.

Traditionally used in temple offerings, royal feasts, and Siddha medicine, this rice is now making a comeback as a functional food for modern wellness.
