Kurulu Thuda
කුරුළු තුඩ
The Ancient Grain of Kings
Kurulu Thuda — 'Bird's Beak' — is a name whispered with reverence among Sri Lankan rice cultivators, for it represents one of the most ancient and rare varieties in the island's storied agricultural heritage. Legend holds that this grain was once reserved for royal tables, its distinctive beak-shaped tip making it instantly recognisable among connoisseurs. With the lowest glycemic index in the Sun Rice range at just 42, Kurulu Thuda is a nutritional powerhouse wrapped in centuries of tradition. Its slightly firm, satisfying texture and subtly sweet undertones make it a versatile choice for both everyday meals and ceremonial occasions. Each grain carries the DNA of an agricultural lineage that stretches back to the great irrigation civilisations of ancient Lanka.
Ideal for health-conscious consumers and those managing blood sugar levels.
