Fragrant Basmati Rice
Long and slender grains, the gateway to Indian cooking.
Basmati rice typically grows in Himalayan foothills. This extra long grain rice has a fluffy, light texture and a delicate, unmistakable flavor. The aroma of Basmati rice is enhanced with a unique aging process. Literally translated from Hindi, "Basmati" means "queen of scents" or "pearl of scents."
Rice type
Basmati
Basmati rice is renowned for its delightful aroma and long slender grains. When cooked, Basmati rice expands in length and produces a light, fluffy texture that is ideal for absorbing the flavours of your cooking. A drier rice, Basmati grains will remain separate, making it a staple of Indian cooking.
