King of Rice
Often called the “King of Rice”, basmati is an extra-long grained aromatic rice famous for its unique nutlike flavour, delicate texture, and distinct taste. People who are fans of basmati and other long grain rice styles also argue that the rice is more flavourful than shorter grain versions. Our basmati rice comes from India, where it is aged for 1–2 years in an air-conditioned warehouse to enable it to lose moisture.
While Basmati rice is ideal for Indian dishes, this fluffy rice can be used in virtually any dish. Before cooking basmati rice, it is necessary to soak it for half an hour and then wash it in several changes of cold water. According to the Canadian Diabetes Association, basmati rice has a medium glycemic index (between 56 and 69), making it more suitable for diabetics compared to certain other grains and products made from white flour.
