Basmati Rice

Basmati rice is a variety of long, slender-grained aromatic rice that is traditionally grown in the Indian subcontinent, mainly India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. It is known for its distinctive nutty flavor and long, slender grains that elongate further when cooked.

Basmati rice is often aged for at least a year before being sold, which helps to improve its flavor and aroma. It is a popular ingredient in many Indian and Middle Eastern dishes, such as biryani, pulao, and curries. Basmati rice can also be cooked on its own as a side dish.
