Ingredients 100% Basmati rice from organic farming. Origin Mainly India or Pakistan. Other origins may vary depending on stock availability. Description Basmati rice, whose name in Hindi means "fragrant rice," is characterized by its distinctive aroma, the result of a natural compound present in the grain. Although the heat of cooking can reduce this fragrance, pre-soaking not only decreases cooking time but also enhances its aroma. From a nutritional standpoint, it is an excellent source of carbohydrates and proteins, and contains vitamins such as B1, B3, A, C, D, and folic acid. It also provides essential minerals like phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium. Usage Cook one portion of rice with two parts of water over low heat for 15 minutes.
