Poha Red Rice
Red rice poha
Flattened red rice from Kerala matta paddy, a whole-grain poha.
Where we buy it
Palakkad, Kerala
Palakkad is the granary of Kerala and the growing and trading centre for Palakkadan matta, the red parboiled rice with a Geographical Indication.
The Palakkad gap and surrounding paddy plains of central Kerala.
We buy poha red rice directly at Palakkad during peak arrivals, before the lots move to Ahmedabad for processing and packing. Buying at the source market means the widest choice of lots and no trader margin between the farmer and our customer, which is how we hold both quality and price.
