While Kerala Matta Rice is grown in Karnataka on huge contracted farms, Bio Basics only sources it from Kollengode, Palakkad, in Kerala in order to maintain agro-biodiversity and the character as well as quality of heritage grains.
Cook it the way you would rice for everyday meals, but allow for a little more water and time since it is a firmer grain. (We recommend pre-soaking it for about two hours before cooking!) It works especially well with dal, sambar, rasam, or curries, where its texture and flavour hold up well.
While farmers grow chemical-free food and conserve heritage grains, they lack a fair and sustainable market to sell such produce—Bio Basics was established to address this gap. Today, they source high-quality ingredients that are naturally grown and free from any chemical inputs from their network of organic farmers and farmer collectives from across nine states in India.
