Basmati Rice

Basmati is a long-grain aromatic rice variety, prized for its distinct aroma, nutty flavor, and fluffy texture that expands significantly when cooked. It is cultivated primarily in the Himalayan foothills of the Indian subcontinent and is a staple in many South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Key characteristics include its slender grains and high content of nutrients like thiamine, folate, and selenium, though its exact nutritional profile can vary by type (white versus brown)
