What is Kuruvikkar Rice?

Kuruvikkar paddy is yellow in colour and rice is brown/dark red. It looks bold. The Kuruvikkar rice is suitable for everybody. It is rich in iron, magnesium and selenium

What impressed me about this rice variant was, the paddy crops can stay resistant to pests and worms naturally. And that makes the rice store ‘n’ number of nutrients within itself and lock them. You can use this rice variety to make idly, dosa, porridge, paniyaram, idiyappam.

Health benefits:

• The rice is rich in iron, protein and fibre. It aids in losing bad cholesterol and hence beneficial in tackling obesity.
• The red colour is rich in antioxidants thereby making it anti-carcinogenic. They can act against inflammation in the body and prevent constipation too.
• The flavonoids and anthocyanins are so rich that the look is confused with Karuppu Kavuni (Forbidden Rice)
• Primarily, the porridge (Overnight Fermented) was used by people who have been investing several hours of physical work.
• A natural energy booster that can help you recover from fatigue and build strength.
• The Kuruvikkar doesn’t get contaminated even when cooked and kept outside for a long time is what few references say and highly recommended for diabetic people and those who are finding it hard to shed extra pounds. The high fibre content and less digestible starch make you avoid the unnecessary consumption of extra plates of unwanted food.
