Over 2000 traditional rice varieties have contributed to India's rich bowl of diversity, and in Kerala, the indigenous brown rice variety has a distinct name. The brown rice in Kerala is commonly known as Matta Rice, also referred to as Rosematta Rice, Kerala Red Rice, or Palakkadan Matta, especially when grown in the Palakkad region. This nutrient-rich, parboiled rice is a staple in the region's cuisine and a healthier alternative to polished white rice.
