Aar Cee Superior Brown Basmati rice is a fragrant extra long grain rice. It shines brightest in traditional Indian and Middle Eastern dishes, but you will find this incredible product translates perfectly to whatever fits your table. Tender and delicate, the grains are fluffy and are separate after cooking. Aged to perfection, this aromatic rice is a fantastic addition to any meal.
Our basmati rice comes all the way from India, where it is re-cleaned in Vancouver, ensuring a superior product. It is not put through bleaching, pearling, oiling, or powdering processes, letting it retain its natural flavour and high nutritional value. Before cooking, we recommend washing it in several changes of cold water. As easy to prepare as white rice, brown basmati has more vitamins, minerals and fibre. Whole-grain brown basmati is slightly nutty and chewier than white rice. Try substituting it in your next meal and taste the difference for yourself.

Soaking Soaking is actually a part of the cooking process and, for Basmati rice dishes, soaking will shorten cooking time and allow the rice to expand into long thin grains. Older basmati rice that can be brittle may also be soaked so the grains do not break. Rinsing Rice from India may have excess powdered starch clinging to the grains due to more primitive milling techniques or equipment, and some may be coated with talc, glucose, starch, or other coatings to improve appearance. Therefore, we recommend rinsing our Indian Basmati rice. Cooking Basmati Rice* Cooking times will vary depending on the age of the rice and whether you rinse it, as well as how many times you rinse it and whether you soak it before cooking. General directions: Rinse if needed; soak for 15 to 30 minutes. Use 1 3⁄4 to 2 cups liquid to 1 part rice. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Let sit covered for 10 to 15 minutes. * It is best to follow directions in specific recipes for the dish you are preparing. |
