Matta Rice, also known as Kerala Red Rice or Palakkadan Matta, is a traditional rice variety celebrated for its rich red color, earthy flavor, and high nutritional value. Naturally parboiled, Matta Rice retains its bran layer, making it rich in fiber, minerals, and antioxidants. It cooks into firm, fluffy grains with a distinct aroma and is widely used in South Indian cuisine, especially Kerala meals, biryanis, idiyappam, and steamed dishes. Its wholesome profile makes it a preferred choice for health-conscious consumers across global markets.
