Kattuyanam is a traditional red rice variety from Tamil Nadu, celebrated for its strength-building properties and high nutritional value. The name Kattuyanam comes from the Tamil words “Kattu” (forest) and “Yanam” (elephant), symbolizing the strength and stamina it imparts—so much that even elephants were believed to be nourished by it.
