Our take on the Basmati Rice, Super Quality, Ex-Long Grain, Dehradun-Indian (Super Quality)

This is aged, extra-long grain Basmati rice grown in the Himalayan foothills around Dehradun, India. It is milled to cook up separate and non-sticky, staying firm yet tender with a fluffy texture, a strong aroma and a nutty-sweet flavor. That profile suits biryani, pilaf and Persian or Middle Eastern rice dishes, and it also holds up in rice pudding. Against ordinary long-grain rice it costs more and needs more water and a longer, gentler simmer, but it delivers the separate grains and fragrance that plain long-grain rice does not. Buyers rate it highly, though the feedback base is small.

Is it suitable for diabetics?

How do I cook it?
