Unakkalari is a kind of raw rice without removing the rice bran. This rice variety is normally available in Wayanad and Kuttanad parts of Kerala. It is known for its nutritious contents and disease-preventing qualities. The presence of rice bran in unakkalari increases the nutritious benefits. The reddish brown colour of this rice is due to the presence of rice bran. It is considered to be a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins and fatty acids. The method of preparation of this rice is slightly different from that of the normal rice. That's, the paddy is cleaned and the boiling part is skipped. The wet paddy is spread, dried well enough in shadow and pounded to get the unakkalari
