• If you want to have a controlled diet and do not want to overeat, semi-polished varieties of red rice like Kerala Matta are an ideal option. 
• Kerala Matta rice available in the market is virtually white or a light pink in colour.
• This is because the rice is almost polished with most of the bran removed.
• Bio Basics' Matta Rice is red in colour because we retain 30% of bran to keep the fibre and mineral content high.
  
• During rice processing, after the paddy is cleaned, it is run through a sheller where the husk of the paddy is removed.
• In this unpolished stage, the rice has 100% bran and is fully red in colour.
• This unpolished rice may be difficult for daily consumption or for urban palates unless you are very committed to eating full fibre red rice.
• Unpolished rice is an excellent option for those who are prediabetic or diabetic.
  
• However, for normal daily consumption, semi-polished rice where part of the bran is removed and part of it is kept intact is preferred. 
• Bio Basics Kerala Matta Rice is from a single PGS-certified organic farm in Palakkad.
• The bran content varies between 30-40% for different batches because the rice is manually processed by adjusting the blade of the polisher.
• Since the bran is only partially removed, the rice retains its red colour even after it is cooked.
• Rich in nutrients
• High satiation
• Suitable choice for blood sugar management
• High fiber content
• Good for portion control
