Organic Basmati Rice White 79p/100g

From £0.79

Basmati is a type of long-grain rice with long, slim grains grown only in Pakistan and northern India - it is the only rice that can be labelled as basmati. Basmati means "fragrant" in Hindi, which is a perfect description as this rice both smells and tastes spicy, nutty, and floral.

Organic basmati white rice is a great accompaniment to tasty, authentic and homemade dishes, it is easy to cook and results in fluffy, perfectly cooked white rice every time. Some of the best dishes that include Basmati rice are burritos, curries, salads and Buddha Bowls.

Basmati rice is a unique grain, it expands more than twice its length when it's cooking, also unlike other rice, it expands lengthways. Having both white and brown versions, the basmati rice both give us vital nutrients which we need to live, with brown basmati rice has more fibre and vitamins in but the white version is easier to digest.
Rinse thoroughly until the rinse water is clear before cooking to remove any excess starch and ensure it doesn’t clump together after cooking.

Perfectly cooked basmati rice should be light, tender and fluffy. You can cook it in a rice cooker, on the stove or by steaming it.

Cooking in slightly salted water will remove some starch and increase the fluffiness of your rice – try it! Basmati works extremely well as a pilaf with dahl or curries.
