Pooram Palakkad Matta (red rice)

Palakkad Matta Rice (Red, Short Grain) is a traditional Kerala rice variety known for its natural reddish hue and plump short grains. Grown in the fertile fields of Palakkad, this rice is parboiled to retain its earthy aroma, rich flavor, and nutritional value. The short grains cook to a soft, fluffy texture while maintaining their unique taste, making them perfect for everyday meals, Kerala-style curries, and traditional dishes like rice meals, uppumavu, and toddy-shop specialties.

Its natural red bran layer is rich in fiber, minerals, and antioxidants—making it a wholesome, healthier choice compared to polished white rice.
