Kalu Heenati is another traditional rice variety from Sri Lanka, distinct from Sudu Heeneti. The name Kalu Heenati translates to "Black Heenati" in Sinhala, where "Kalu" means black, and "Heenati" refers to a type of rice.

Kalu Heenati rice is known for its darker color, often brownish or purplish, and is highly valued for its nutritional benefits.

  • Health Benefits: Unlike white rice, Kalu Heenati is typically less processed and retains more of its natural nutrients, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is considered a healthier alternative to more refined rice varieties.
  • Rich Flavor: Kalu Heenati has a slightly nutty taste compared to white rice, with a firmer texture when cooked.
  • Cultural and Culinary Use: It is often used in traditional Sri Lankan dishes, especially for rice-based meals such as kiribath (milk rice) and pittu (a steamed dish made of rice flour). It is also seen as a more flavorful rice to pair with curries and other local dishes.
  • Variety and Farming: This rice is grown in specific regions of Sri Lanka, particularly in areas with a long history of rice cultivation. It is sometimes grown using organic or traditional farming methods.
