Over the past few years, Basmati rice has become a popular accompaniment to many dishes. In fact, it is considered a ‘super grain’ for health purposes. The reasons for this, are manifold:

• Basmati rice is low in fat and contains hardly any (bad) cholesterol.
• It is low in sodium and is therefore healthy.
• Lower in starch than other varieties of rice it comes with a low-to-medium glycaemic index. This means that when eaten, this rice releases energy at a slower, stabler rate than the others, and so it can be quite diabetic-friendly!
• It contains many of the essential amino acids and folic acids needed by our bodies.
• It is naturally gluten-free.
• Key nutrients like iron, B-vitamins, and manganese can be found in Basmati rice.

OKAY, THAT’S THE HEALTH PERSPECTIVE. BUT WHAT MAKES BASMATI RICE SO SPECIAL IN OTHER WAYS?

So, Basmati really means “the rice adorned with fragrance”. And it is special because it possesses a classic aroma and carries some complex and unique flavours, offering your tastebuds a very unusual experience. Indulge yourself with it, to believe it!

And it is surprising but true - Basmati rice improves in flavour as it ages! Storing it and getting it to mature over months, before milling it carefully, helps to bring out this flavour very strongly. This makes it wonderfully versatile rice to cook with, and more so, because it easily amalgamates other textures or flavours too, making it an incomparable companion for other recipes on the menu.
