Basmati” is long grain aromatic rice which is cultivated in the Himalayan foothills of the Indian sub-continent. Pakistan and India are best known for cultivating this variety of extra-long slender grains of rice, that elongate at least twice their original size with a soft and fluffy texture upon cooking. Basmati rice is unique among other aromatic long-grain rice varieties for its delicious taste, superior aroma and distinct flavor. Agro-climatic conditions of the specific geographical area, as well as the method of harvesting, processing and aging, attribute these characteristic features to Basmati rice. Owing to its unique characteristics the “scented Pearl” lends a touch of class that can transform even the most ordinary meal into a gourmet’s delight.
