Black Rice Laddu / Kavuni Laddu

₹150 · 250g

Kavuni Laddu is made from Kavuni arisi — the black glutinous rice native to Tamil Nadu's Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi regions. Kavuni rice turns a deep purple-black when cooked and has a naturally sweet, earthy flavour. It is rich in anthocyanins, the same antioxidant pigment found in blueberries and purple grapes. Mrs. Esakkiammal dry-roasts and grinds the Kavuni rice, combines it with jaggery, ghee and coconut, and hand-rolls each laddu at Iyarkai Pantry. The colour and aroma of the finished laddu are strikingly distinctive — dark, fragrant and almost chocolatey in depth. The 250g pack contains 8–12 pieces with no preservatives, artificial colour or flavouring. Kavuni laddus are a popular heritage-grain gifting choice and are frequently requested for NRI food hampers. Store in an airtight container and consume within 30 days.
