What is Karuppu Kavuni Rice?
Karuppu Kavuni is one of Tamil Nadu’s most treasured traditional rice varieties. Known for its naturally black outer layer, distinctive aroma, rich taste, and cultural significance, it stands apart from ordinary rice.
Today, more families are returning to traditional foods, making Karuppu Kavuni Rice an increasingly popular choice for those seeking authenticity and quality.
Pethu Agro Foods – Preserving Our Agricultural Heritage
Pethu Agro Foods is dedicated to protecting and promoting India’s traditional rice varieties while maintaining the highest standards of quality.
Through our Marabu Nel brand, we carefully cultivate, process, and deliver heritage rice using traditional methods, fulfilling our promise of “From Our Fields Directly to Your Home.”
Our Signature Traditional Processing – Thangu Puzhungal Method
One of the unique features of Marabu Nel is our family’s traditional “Thangu Puzhungal” processing method, carefully preserved and practiced across generations.
After harvesting, the paddy is traditionally parboiled and is not milled immediately. Instead, it is allowed to rest for a specific period through our ancestral Thangu Puzhungal process before being carefully milled into rice.
This traditional practice helps preserve the grain’s natural quality, authentic taste, and characteristic texture. For generations, our ancestors have believed that this method helps retain the grain’s natural goodness as much as possible, and we proudly continue this heritage today.
For us, tradition is more than a practice—it is a responsibility passed down through generations.
