White Basmati Rice is a nutty flavoured aromatic Rice which is
grown in India and Pakistan around the Himalayan foothills, as well
as in Iran. It is a long grain, thin, White Rice. Basmati Rice is
well known for its fragrance and delightful flavour. Basmati Rice is
often served in Indian restaurants and used in Asian cooking. The
grains of this Rice cook up separate and fluffy. Basmati is similar
to Jasmine Rice. Both have a sweet, nutty flavour, however, Basmati
has a much more concentrated flavour.
Suggested Use:
Basmati can be used whenever a long grain White Rice is needed. It's
most often used in South Asian cooking. The nutty flavour and firm
texture go well with spicy curries and stir fry. A good choice for
stews and soups.
