Kavuni Arisi (200g)

The Legendary Superfood of the Chettinad Kitchen

Discover the celebrated "forbidden rice" of the Chettinad region. Our Kavuni Arisi is a premium, unpolished black rice, revered for centuries for its incredible health benefits and unique, nutty flavor.

Its striking deep purple-black color comes from a high concentration of powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins, the same compounds found in blueberries and blackberries. This whole grain rice has a delightfully chewy texture and a subtle, nutty taste.

It's the essential ingredient for the famous Chettinad Sweet Kavuni Arisi Pongal (a rich, jaggery-sweetened dessert) and can also be used to make puttu, porridge, or a wholesome kheer. Add this ancient superfood to your pantry for a true taste of Chettinad tradition.
