FAQ

Why is it called Forbidden Rice?
Karuppu Kavuni (black rice) was historically reserved for royalty in ancient China and Tamil Nadu due to its rarity and exceptional nutrition — hence the name "Forbidden Rice".

What gives it the purple colour?
The deep purple colour comes from anthocyanins — the same powerful antioxidants found in blueberries and purple cabbage.

Is it gluten-free?
Yes — black rice is naturally gluten-free and suitable for those with gluten sensitivity.

How long does it take to cook?
Aval (flakes) cook much faster than whole black rice — ready in 5–10 minutes.
