🍚 Karunkuruvai Red Rice — The Sacred Healer from Tamil Nadu
Traditional | Therapeutic | Time-Honored
Karunkuruvai is a heritage variety of red rice native to Tamil Nadu, known for its deep reddish-black hue, strong aroma, and remarkable healing properties. Traditionally grown in the fertile deltas of the Cauvery, this rice is cultivated during the kuruvai season (June–September) and has been mentioned in Siddha texts for its medicinal benefits.
At Goodness Farm, we honor this sacred grain through seasonal intercropping, natural cultivation, and gentle post-harvest methods like sun-drying and hand-pounding — preserving its nutritional integrity and cultural legacy.
🌾 What Makes Karunkuruvai Special?
🔬 Rich in Anthocyanins & Iron
Its dark red-black color isn’t just for beauty — it’s packed with natural antioxidants (anthocyanins) that support cell repair, detoxification, and anti-inflammatory effects.
🩺 Traditionally Used in Detox Therapies
In Siddha medicine, Karunkuruvai is recommended during post-fever recovery, postpartum healing, and liver cleansing, thanks to its ability to cool the body and aid detoxification.
💪 Supports Bone Health & Immunity
It’s naturally rich in iron, zinc, and calcium, making it ideal for women, children, and the elderly — especially when sprouted or soaked for better mineral absorption.
🌾 Cleans the Gut
Its fiber-rich structure improves digestion, reduces constipation, and keeps you full.
🍲 How to Use It
- Karunkuruvai Kanji (fermented porridge): A gut-healing, cooling breakfast, especially beneficial during summer.
- Karunkuruvai Idlis/Dosas: When stone-ground and soaked, this rice makes flavorful, iron-rich batters.
