Description

Basmati has its roots from Sanskrit, an ancient Indo-European language many languages descend from, and means fragrant. It is an extra long grained, matured quality rice that is recognizable in its aroma, taste and by the length of the rice grain. This type of rice contains 12 times more aroma than other types. Rice is like wine. Perfect maturity gives it flavor, texture and aroma. Furthermore the rice grains length indicate quality and taste. The area of application is biggest in North-India.

Europeans still have a lot to learn about rice – it is so much more than boil-in-bag or just boiled rice.

In India rice is not used as a replacement for potatoes, potatoes are actually used as a vegetable and are often eaten with rice. The rice is usually served on a plate and is not supposed to be sticky. In addition basmati rice is healthier than thick-grained rice because rice gives higher glycemic index, the longer it is boiled. Also it does not need to be boiled as long as thick-grained rice. When basmati rice, in addition, is soaked it gets softer and faster done. Remember that rice always should be cooked with the lid on so the good aroma and nutrient won’t evaporate.
