100% organic white basmati rice.

Long-grained and aromatic, basmati rice is the choice in many of the northern states of India. White basmati rice is starchy and fluffy making it great for pulao and biriyanis as well. Jiva Organic White Basmati Rice is the finest basmati rice with an exquisite Pearl white color. It is smooth in texture and extra long. 

 

Basmati which literally translates to “Queen of Fragrance” in the local dialect, is famous for its long grain and delicate flavour. It elongates to almost twice its original size after cooking. Long slender grains, fluffy texture, fragrant aroma and finger-licking taste give Basmati rice a preference over other varieties of rice.

Why Basmati?
One of the best quality white rice, Basmati can be incorporated into your daily cooking if eaten in the right quantity. Let’s understand why Basmati is also called a healthy “supergrain”-

  1. Basmati rice has low to medium glycemic index, meaning it helps reduce blood sugar levels, aids weight loss and lowers the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
  2. Basmati rice is gluten-free, low in fat and sodium, and has no cholesterol. Packed with 8 essential amino acids and folic acid, it makes for a good choice for every day eating.
  3.  Brown Basmati rice is healthier than the white one as it contains dietary fibre and a number of nutrients.


How to cook Indian white basmati rice?
Basmati rice is a dream to cook. With the fragrance of sun-baked wood and flowers, complemented with a nutty flavour, Basmati rice is a taste sensation. Let's discover the secret to cooking this flavorsome delight-

  • Boil the rice in a pot filled with ample amount of salted water (just like you boil pasta). The water should be 4-5 times the amount of rice. Boil on high heat for 20-25 minutes. After this,  check one grain of rice if it is soft and cooked. If it is still hard then you can boil for a few more minutes.

  • Almost all the starch is removed from the rice resulting in the fluffiest and most aromatic rice.

Note: Add a teaspoon of ghee in the boiling water to get an amazing flavour. This also prevents the rice grains from sticking to each other.
