Palakkadan Matta Rice: The Authentic Kerala Treasure Loved Across India

If you’ve ever struggled to find authentic, high-quality rice that combines taste, texture, and nutrition, you’re not alone.
Many households face common pain points when it comes to choosing rice:

• Rice that loses its aroma and texture after cooking

• Overly polished grains with reduced nutrition

• Lack of authenticity — most “Matta Rice” available online isn’t truly from Palakkad

• Long cooking times and inconsistency in grain quality

That’s where Palakkadan Matta Rice from Rabbit Mill stands apart — an authentic, single-boiled variety sourced directly from Palakkad, Kerala, known for its rich red hue, earthy aroma, and exceptional nutritional value.

What Makes Palakkadan Matta Rice So Special?

Palakkadan Matta Rice, also known as Rosematta Rice, is a staple in South Indian cuisine — especially in Kerala.
What makes it unique is its distinct reddish-brown color, derived from the natural bran retained after milling. Unlike white rice, which is stripped of nutrients, Matta Rice is minimally processed, preserving its wholesome goodness.

Here’s why it’s more than just rice:

• Naturally rich in fiber for better digestion

• Loaded with essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron

• Low glycemic index – ideal for diabetics and fitness enthusiasts

• Distinct aroma and earthy flavor that pair beautifully with spicy curries

• Wholesome and filling, keeping hunger at bay longer

Why Authenticity Matters: The Palakkad Difference

Not all “Matta Rice” is the same. The Palakkadan variety is grown in the fertile lands of Palakkad district, known as the rice bowl of Kerala. The region’s unique soil composition, climate, and traditional farming methods give this rice its signature flavor and texture.

However, many sellers market ordinary red rice as “Matta Rice,” leaving customers disappointed.

At Rabbit Mill, authenticity isn’t just a promise — it’s a guarantee.

3. Add 1 cup of rice to 3 cups of water in a pressure cooker or pot.

4. Cook for 3–4 whistles (pressure cooker) or 40–45 minutes (open pot).
