Organic Brown Basmati Rice has bite and flavour.
Organic Brown Basmati Rice is a species of rice unique to India. Basmati has been used in India and Pakistan for thousands of years and is known for its nutty flavour and rich aroma.  It is a long, slender grain which creates a lovely light, fluffy rice when cooked.

The word 'Basmati' means 'the prince of fragrance' and you only need to cook a batch of it to find out why.  The special fragrance is due to a plant compound called 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline.  This compound is found in basmati rice at 90 parts per billion. That's about 12 times more than in other rice varieties and gives basmati its special aroma.  This is what makes Basmati such a coveted rice variety.

Unlike white rice, brown rice contains the outer shell of the grain. The outer shell contains added nutrition and fibre.  If you prefer white varieties try our organic white basmati rice.

“My preferred way of cooking this rice is using the absorption method, the same as for white basmati. I pre-soak for about half an hour then cover with fresh water and a splash of toasted sesame seed oil to about 1 inch above the rice in an appropriately sized saucepan. Then I bring to a rolling boil, cover the pan and turn the heat down to minimum allowing the rice to cook gently for about 15 minutes. You can vary the time to suit your tastes. The rice is perfect with a curry and much better for you than white basmati, especially if you're concerned about your blood sugar levels.”
