<\/p>\nIn the heart of Kerala, God’s Own Country, lies the wonderful Wayanad thrumming with wildlife, beauty, food, and wellness. While travelling to a new place, the first thing that tops the list of “things to explore” remains dictated by the unchallenged ruler – food. The cuisine of a place tells a lot about the hidden traits of the region and prepares the visitors for upcoming adventures. The local cuisine nourishes the body and prepares the body to remain cool or retain warmth according to the outdoor temperature. Thus, while travelling, be “vocal for the locals”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The land of black gold, aromatic spices, exquisite coffee beans, and nutritious paddy presents an extensive spread of flavorful cuisine that can take you off guard on your diet chart. What makes the whole experience more unique is enjoying the luscious food of Wayanad while soaking in the astonishing beauty of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Any authentic Wayanad food mimics its geographical diversity, with ingredients coming from the rainforest, the plantations, and the vast spread of paddy fields, and has a hint of the tribal cuisine of the area. Gandhaksala rice, Mullayari bamboo rice payasam, and the monsoon special frog dishes are a few of the unique culinary specialities of Wayanad.<\/p>\n
