Karuppu Kavuni Black Rice

Also known as forbidden rice or purple rice, black rice is a nutrient-rich whole grain with a deep black color that turns purple when cooked. It has a slightly nutty flavor, a chewy texture, and is packed with antioxidants—especially anthocyanins, the same pigments found in blueberries and blackberries. High in fiber and iron, black rice is a delicious and healthful choice for salads, stir-fries, bowls, and even desserts.
