Basmati Rice

Product Description

We are engaged in exporting, distributing, trading and supplying of Basmati Rice in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. 'Basmati', when literally translated from Hindi, means 'queen of fragrance'. It is considered the best variety of rice in the world. Authentic Basmati rice is sourced from the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India. Basmati rice is a rice popular not only for its flavour, but for its fragrance. It is remarkably long for rice, and becomes longer still when cooked. It can be either brown or white with the brown variety having more flavour. When cooked, the rice is lighter and fluffier than standard white rice, and does not stick together. The colour of Basmati is translucent, creamy white. Brown Basmati Rice is also available but the most commonly used is white Basmati. The grain is long (6.61 - 7.5 mm) or very long (more than 7.50 mm and 2 mm breadth). The length-to-width ratio is another criterion to identify Basmati rice. This needs to be over 3.0 in order to qualify as Basmati. Above all, the grains must also be properly aged to reduce their moisture content in order to obtain the perfect aroma and flavour.
