Red rice is a whole-grain rice distinguished by a red-tinged bran layer that remains intact during minimal processing. This intact layer gives it a nutty taste and chewier texture compared to white rice. Common varieties include Kerala Matta. The presence of the bran is responsible for its significantly higher fiber and micronutrient content
