Why is it feminine?

Ralladura is feminine because it derives from the Latin verb "radere" (to scrape/grate), which through the suffix "-adura" (a productive feminine suffix in Spanish denoting the result or product of an action) became a feminine noun meaning "grated material" or "shavings." The "-adura" suffix consistently produces feminine nouns in Spanish, similar to how "quemadura" (burn) and "picadura" (bite) are also feminine.
