Brown Basmati Rice is a thin, long grain that is light tan in color. Brown Basmati still retains the Bran Coating, that gives the rice a higher fibber content and a stronger aroma then White Basmati. This rice has a nutty, earthy flavour and cooks up to a firm texture. Brown Basmati is grown in the Himalayan Foothills of India and Pakistan. This Rice cooks up easily into separate, fluffy grains. Substitute Brown Basmati when a recipe calls for a Brown Rice.

 

Suggested Use:
Brown Basmati is an all purpose Rice. Traditionally served with South Asian Curries and Coconut Milk dishes. The rich, nutty flavour is delicious in Lentil dishes, casseroles, stir fry, fresh mushroom and vegetable soups.
