  • Our take on the Basmati Rice

    Basmati is a long-grain aromatic rice with a light, fluffy texture and a mild nutty flavor. It cooks up with separate grains rather than clumping, which is why it suits pilafs, biryanis and curries. Its lower glycemic index than most white rice makes it a reasonable everyday choice for people watching blood sugar. Compared with plain long-grain white rice, it costs more but brings aroma and firmer grains; compared with brown rice, it cooks faster and is gentler on digestion.

    Questions and answers

    How is basmati different from regular white rice?
    Basmati is a long-grain aromatic rice that cooks into firmer, separate grains with a nutty smell. Ordinary long-grain white rice is milder and tends to be softer and stickier.
    Is basmati good for blood sugar?
    It has a lower glycemic index than most white rice varieties, so it raises blood sugar more slowly. Portion size and what you pair it with still matter.
    How should I cook it for separate grains?
    Rinse until the water runs clear, soak briefly, then cook in plenty of water and drain. Avoid stirring much and let it rest before fluffing.
    Does it work for biryani and pilaf?
    Yes. Its firm, separate grains and aroma are why it is the standard choice for biryani, pilaf and fried rice.
    Is it easy to digest?
    It is described as easy to digest, which is part of why it is popular in Ayurvedic cooking. People with sensitive stomachs often tolerate it well.
    How should I store it?
    Keep it in an airtight container away from light and heat. Its aroma fades over many months, so use it within a reasonable time.
