Basmati Rice
Basmati rice is a premium long-grain variety originating from the Indian subcontinent, renowned for its delicate floral aroma and slender, elongated grains that remain separate when cooked. This aromatic rice has a lower glycemic index than many other white rice varieties, making it a preferred choice for blood sugar management. Traditionally aged for enhanced flavor and texture, dry basmati grains nearly double in length during cooking, developing a light, fluffy consistency ideal for pilafs and biryanis.
