Contact SupplierDerived from the Sanskrit word ‘vasmati’ meaning fragrance, Basmati rice has an aroma-emitting compound 2-acetyl-1-prryolinel which is found in its natural state in the grains. Called the Prince of Rice, Basmati grains measure from 6.9 mm to 8.5mm. Thin, long, rich in taste, easy to digest, free from impurities, hygienically and finely processed, Basmati grains have great nutritional value. Basmati rice is a source of carbohydrates which constitute 85% of the kernel. Low fat, cholesterol- and sodium-free, Basmati rice is a good source of vitamin D, iron and calcium.
Basmati rice comes mainly in three varieties – 370, Pusa and 1121. Used for preparation of fried rice and biryani, the grains are fluffy and do not stick together.
