• 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’ Kerala  Matta ( high bran) Rice is deep red in colour because we retain 70% of bran to keep the fibre and mineral content very 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, many regular Kerala Matta consumers like to have higher than the regular 30% bran.
• So this high bran Kerala Matta is for that segment.
• Bio Basics Kerala Matta (high bran) Rice is from a single PGS-certified organic farm in Palakkad.
• The bran content is around 70%  and may show slight variation from batch to batch because the rice is manually processed by adjusting the blade of the polisher.
• Since  most of the bran is left intact, the rice retains its deep red colour even after it is cooked.
• Rich in nutrients
• High satiation
• Suitable choice for blood sugar management
• High fibre content
• Good for portion control
