What is Brown Basmati Rice?

India is the source of our naturally fragrant brown basmati rice. This aromatic rice retains its bran layer, which gives it a firmer texture, more flavor, and more fiber content than white basmati rice. It cooks to a fluffy texture and has an earthy, nutty scent. What "basmati" signifies in Hindi is "queen of fragrance." Our brown basmati rice has a delightful natural scent and is a tasty complete grain. Its nutty taste goes well with savory foods like curries and other Middle Eastern cuisines. It is grown in India.

Compared to ordinary brown rice, brown basmati is nuttier-flavored, lighter, and more delicate. It's good as an accompaniment, but in salads, gratins, stir-fries, and filthy rice (rice and beans), I like to center it on the plate.
