Can it be cooked on the stove top or fies it require a specific type of pan/cooker?

Hi there, yes you can cook it using any regular method that you use to cook rice. It is a whole grain so it takes a little longer than fully polished white rice. Soaking it for a couple of hours helps. Even better if you can soak it overnight. If you are using a electric rice cooker, you can use the brown rice setting that pre soaks the rice. Here is a simple recipe to try on a stove top open pan. Hope this helps. 1 cup Karuppu Kavuni Rice 3 cups of water 1 tbsp ghee or oil or butter Salt to taste Roasted cashews for garnish (optional) Instructions: Rinse the Karuppu Kavuni Rice in cold water and drain. Soak it with just enough water to immerse the rice for 2 hours (you can choose to do it overnight to bring down the cooking time). Drain the excess water before cooking (you can add a little salt and mint and this water becomes a great health drink). In a medium-sized pot, add the rice and water (water ratio should twice that of rice). Bring the water to a boil. Once the water boils, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot with a lid. Let the rice simmer for about 30 minutes or until the water has been completely absorbed and the rice is cooked through. Once the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Add ghee or oil or butter to a small pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Once the ghee or oil is hot, add it to the cooked rice and mix well. Add salt to taste and mix again. Garnish with roasted cashews, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy! There are many recipes available online too. Pls try and give us a feedback. Thank you.

Its genuine !

Its my first time to eat black rice and i love it it a real black rice , the quality it great , the grain are whole not broken into pieces. The texture is great too. Though its a little expensive its worth it coz it has a lot of benifits. Will continue to order this black rice coz its hard to find an authentic black rice made in India. Highly recommended

Healthy and Yummy.

I usually do not like the nutty and chewy taste in rice. But this is surprisingly good. I like it and I have bought it more than twice. Price is Little bit on the higher side. If we could find it in our neighborhood stores, it's available for seven dollars for a 2 LB bag. Other than the cost it's of excellent quality.

An important item left out of the description

I was excited when I finally found black rice, after reading some amazing nutritional information. So I ordered a large bag of the black rice from this supplier. Unfortunately when I read the preparation instructions, it requires the use of a 'pressure cooker'. I haven't seen anyone who still owns a pressure cooker since I was a child. I attempted to contact the distributor but the email came back as undeliverable, and the website listed on the package never loaded - so now I'm stuck with 4 lbs of black rice that apparently I can't cook without a pressure cooker -- I'm certainly not going to buy one just to cook this rice -- maybe they should have said that in the description somewhere....?

Best Black Rice !

I have been looking for Karuppu Kavuni rice as I heard about its health benefits, the product packing was very good and got a timely delivery. It also had a recipe printed on the pack which was easy to follow and cook especially as we were trying for the first time. The rice flavor was amazing and we made a dessert which took me to the days when my mom used to prepare it. Highly recommended this product if you are looking for a healthy and tasty black rice !!
