Ponkathir Matta Rice is a premium short-grain variety cultivated in Kerala's fertile paddies, prized for its distinctive reddish hue and earthy flavor profile. This heritage rice delivers a naturally nutty taste and creamy texture when cooked, making it ideal for traditional Kerala dishes, biryanis, and everyday meals. Rich in antioxidants and fiber, Matta rice offers superior nutritional value compared to polished white varieties. Its firm grain structure resists mushiness, ensuring consistent results whether steamed, pressure-cooked, or slow-simmered. A staple for discerning home cooks seeking authentic South Indian cuisine and wholesome nutrition.
