The story

Matta rice is Kerala's heritage staple — short, round, parboiled, with a faintly red-pink bran that survives polishing. It carries iron, magnesium and B-vitamins that white rice quietly throws away.

Sourced directly from Palakkad. Cook it the way every Malayali kitchen does — with Kerala fish curry, with a coconut-heavy sambar, or as plain kanji with mango pickle.
