What is Aruvatham Kuruvai Rice?
Aruvatham Kuruvai (also spelled Arubatham Kuruvai) is a traditional red rice variety grown during the short Kuruvai season in Tamil Nadu. This variety matures in just 60 days, making it a climate-smart, water-efficient grain well suited to rainfed cultivation.
Known for its chewy texture, mild nutty taste and deep reddish hue after cooking, Aruvatham Kuruvai is both a heritage food and a wholesome alternative to polished white rice.
