In the Hindi language, Basmati literally means "The Perfumed One" and has been revered for centuries for its spectacular aroma. Basmati Rice can only be grown in one place on earth ...the unspoiled, fertile Foothills of the Himalayan Range. There, this extraordinary rice is tended, cultivated and harvested by the finest Indian rice farmers. The unique soil, climate conditions and the highly nutritional water source from the melting snow gives Basmati Rice its exquisite flavor, unique aroma and most delicate texture. Considered to be the "Champagne of Rice", once cooked, it will give you light, delicate and separate grains, scented with a wonderful aroma.
Indian Basmati Rice is considered a healthy "Super-grain".
Among its various health benefits, it's known for
containing all eight essential amino acids and folic
acid. It is non-allergenic, gluten free, low in fat,
low in salt, has no cholesterol and has a low to
medium glycemic index. Basmati plays a role
in the practice of Ayurveda, the ancient
practice of striving to live in harmony with
your social, physical, mental and spiritual self.
Considered to be saatvic or pure, it is easy to
digest and helps balance your (vata) metabolism.
Royal Basmati is available in White, White Organic
and Brown. They are all quite simply, "the best rice
in the world."
