Taprobane brings you the purest heritage grains from Sri Lanka's heartland — mung, cowpea, millet, udu and more. High protein. Low glycaemic. No compromise.
Long before superfoods became a marketing term, Sri Lankan families were building strength on mung, cowpea, and millet. These weren't trends — they were traditions. Taprobane was founded to honour that wisdom and bring it to modern tables, without the compromise of mass processing.
We source directly from trusted farmers across Sri Lanka's dry zone — where the soil is mineral-rich and growing methods remain close to the land. Every grain is cleaned, quality-checked, and packed to preserve its natural integrity.
Pure. Ancient. Honest.
Every variety meets our strict purity criteria — sourced, cleaned and packed with care. Call us to learn about availability.

Bold colour. Deep nutrition.
The red-hulled cowpea packs exceptional protein and fibre with a slightly earthier flavour — ideal for traditional Sri Lankan curries.
Ancient grain. Timeless energy.
A gluten-free whole grain dense in calcium, fibre, and slow-release carbohydrates. A Sri Lankan nutritional staple for millennia.
Dark. Dense. Deeply nutritious.
Known as black gram — the foundation of countless traditional Sri Lankan recipes. Creamy texture when cooked, extraordinary nutritional density.
Quick. Clean. Versatile.
The fastest-cooking legume in our range. Breaks down into a silky texture ideal for soups and dhal — a weeknight essential for any health-conscious household.
Our grains deliver 18–25g of protein per 100g — comparable to many animal sources, without the saturated fat. Combine varieties for a full amino acid profile.
B vitamins in millet and mung are essential for neurotransmitter production, linked to improved focus and reduced cognitive fatigue.
Ancient grains have a low glycaemic index — energy releases slowly, preventing the spikes and crashes of modern refined diets.
Complex carbohydrates fuel your body over hours — not minutes. Athletes, professionals, and active families benefit from this steady metabolic rhythm.
High prebiotic fibre in cowpea, chickpea, and lentils feeds beneficial gut bacteria — supporting immunity, mood regulation, and digestive health.
Soluble fibre, potassium, and plant sterols in legumes work synergistically to support healthy cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risk markers.

Growing up, my grandmother always insisted on cooking with proper ulundu and kurakkan. Taprobane's quality reminds me exactly of that — clean, dense, and full of flavour. It's become a staple in our kitchen.
