Nourishing: Basmati rice is gluten-free, low in fat and sodium, and has no cholesterol – your perfect choice for any diet! With its low to medium glycemic index, energy is released at a steadier rate leading to a balanced level of energy. But: a high level of micronutrients like thiamine, folate, and selenium that make it an unparalleled allround-talent in the authentic Indian cuisine. 

Short Cooking Time: Soak the grains for a minimum of 30 minutes and they are ready to be cooked. When it comes to its preparation, our Basmati rice cooks in 20-25 mins and is also the most delicious amongst all rice types. 

Storage: Basmati rice should be kept in an airtight, dry container in the pantry or another cool, dark spot.

Fun Fact: Indian traders introduced Basmati rice to the world, which has since then played a pivotal role in South Asian, Persian, Arab and Middle Eastern cuisines. It’s unique ageing process sets it apart from other grains: the usual ageing period is nine months, though premium brands age it for a minimum of 18 months. This is probably why this toothsome grain became the royalty favourite and is one of the best-known rice around the globe! And your favourite now, too!
