Periyar Matta Rice Vadi is a traditional Kerala-style parboiled red rice made from the Palakkadan Matta variety. It is known for its distinctive reddish-brown color, firm texture, and rich, earthy taste.
This rice is nutrient-dense and high in fiber, as it is partially parboiled, which helps retain more vitamins and minerals compared to regular white rice. The grains are thick, slightly long, and stay separate after cooking.
