Empire Premium Basmati Rice is an aged long-grain basmati, matured for two years to deepen its aroma and keep the grains separate when cooked. The grains are slender and extra long, which suits biryani, pilaf and fried rice where distinct, elongated grains matter. It is a plain, unadulterated basmati with no additives, aimed at cooks who want a traditional aromatic rice rather than a quick-cook or parboiled product. Against ordinary short-grain and non-aged basmati, its aging and grain length are the main selling points.
