Organic Kerala Red Rice – Traditional Nutrition, Naturally Preserved

Authentic Kerala Matta Rice for Wholesome Living

Herbolaya’s Organic Kerala Red Rice, also known as Palakkadan Matta or Rose Matta Rice, is a revered traditional rice variety from the lush paddy fields of Kerala. Cultivated using organic, chemical-free practices, this unpolished red rice retains its natural bran layer, making it a powerhouse of nutrition and flavor.

Its bold, plump grains turn soft yet firm when cooked, releasing an earthy aroma and rich taste that pairs beautifully with traditional curries, stews, or even simple ghee and pickle.

Key Benefits of Kerala Red Rice

• Unpolished & Nutrient-Rich: Retains its outer bran layer, offering higher fiber, essential minerals, and antioxidants compared to white rice.

• Supports Digestive Health: The high fiber content promotes better digestion, supports metabolism, and helps with satiety—ideal for weight management.

• Heart-Healthy Choice: Rich in magnesium, iron, and antioxidants that contribute to better heart health and reduced inflammation.

• Low Glycemic Index: Helps regulate blood sugar levels, making it suitable for diabetics and fitness-focused diets.

• Traditional Taste & Aroma: Distinct earthy flavor and firm texture that complements South Indian gravies, sambar, rasam, avial, and global rice bowls.

Perfect for Conscious, Everyday Eating

Unlike polished rice, Herbolaya’s Kerala Red Rice is semi-polished to maintain its natural nutritional value without compromising on taste. A small portion is enough to satisfy your hunger, making it a smart choice for those following a controlled or mindful diet.
