Basmati rice, Cultivation Type :Common

The world's most relished Basmati rice grown in Cambodia and Viatnam. Soil and climate of the region account for the unique aroma, taste and texture of basmati rice. The word 'Basmati' comes from the Hindi language, meaning 'Queen of Fragrance'. Basmati has a fine aromatic flavor with long and slender grains. Its perfumed, nutlike flavor and aroma can be attributed to the fact that the grain is aged, to decrease its moisture content. When cooked, it swells only lengthwise, thereby resulting in long slender grains that are dry, separate and fluffy.
