About Basmati Rice
Grown mostly in northern India and parts of Pakistan, for centuries Basmati rice has been the pride of India. The word ‘Basmati’ means ‘full of aroma’ or ‘fragrant’ in Hindi. True to its name, it is this delightful aroma that distinguishes Basmati rice from other rice. It is also said to be sweeter in taste, has long grains which become even longer after cooking. Each long grain remains separate and fine. It is the preferred choice not only in the Indian subcontinent but also outside.
