About Kerala rice

Kerala Rice, also known as Matta Rice, is a variety of red rice native to Kerala, India. This traditional staple is characterized by its unique earthy flavor, slightly chewy texture, and reddish-brown hue due to the bran-rich outer layer. Rich in dietary fiber, magnesium, and antioxidants, Kerala Rice is celebrated for its ability to aid digestion, support heart health, and promote sustained energy. Unlike polished white rice, it retains more nutrients, making it a wholesome choice. However, its higher carbohydrate content means portion control is essential for individuals managing blood sugar levels. Commonly paired with curries, sambar, and coconut-based dishes, Kerala Rice is a core component of the state's cuisine, blending harmoniously with its spicy and aromatic flavors. Whether enjoyed during festive feasts or daily meals, Kerala Rice offers both nutritional benefits and a deep-rooted connection to South Indian culinary traditions.
