Sivappu Rice

Sivappu Rice

Sivappu Rice, meaning Red Rice in Tamil, is a deeply nourishing traditional variety that has been at the heart of South Indian cooking for centuries. Its striking deep red-brown grains are rich in natural pigments, nutrients, and a robust earthy flavour that sets it apart from ordinary white rice.

Why Sivappu Rice

• Rich in anthocyanins, iron, and dietary fibre
• Unpolished and retains its natural bran layer
• Low glycemic index — ideal for mindful, balanced eating
• Naturally gluten-free and easy to digest
• Grown without chemicals using traditional farming methods

How to Cook

Soak for 30 minutes. Cook with 1 part rice to 3 parts water on low heat for 30 to 35 minutes. Best enjoyed with sambar, rasam, or traditional curries.
