Long Grain Biryani Rice

Description

“Basmati” is long grain aromatic rice grown for many centuries in a specific geographical area, in the Himalayan foothills of the Indian sub-continent, blessed with characteristics of extra-long slender grains that elongate at least twice their original size with a characteristics soft and fluffy texture upon cooking. Basmati is a fragrant Indian rice with an intoxicating natural aroma. Its nutty, buttery flavor pairs well with savory dishes like curries and other Middle Eastern and Asian fare. White Basmati Rice is lighter and fluffier than traditional white rice and has a more concentrated flavor than the jasmine variety. Long-grain rice kernels are four or more times longer than they are wide, and cook up to be firm, relatively dry, and fluffy. When cooked, the long grain rice stays fluffy and separate making it perfect for casseroles, salads and stuffing. As it adds a whole grain touch to meals, many prefer this rice variety for rice salads like this Mango Chicken Rice Salad with fresh greens.
