Long Grain Basmati Rice
                     Benefits of Long Grain Basmati Rice? 
Oriental rice cultivars with long, thin grains are referred to as long-grained rice. The most popular kind is 
Basmati, a long-grain, thin, aromatic rice with a nutty flavor. "Basmati Rice" is "queen of aroma." 
 It has been sold too many nations for centuries and is regarded as one of the greatest rice kinds in the 
world. Northern India's Himalayan foothills are the source of genuine Long Grain Basmati Rice. Although 
Basmati rice may be found in Pakistan and India, Indian Basmati is generally regarded as the best.  
 
Basmati is a transparent, creamy white color. Although white Basmati rice is the most popular kind, 
brown Basmati rice is also offered.  
The grain measures 6.61 to 7.5 mm or is quite lengthy (more than 7.50 mm and 2 mm breadth). Another 
requirement for identifying Basmati rice is the length-to-width ratio. In order to be considered Basmati, 
this must be higher than 3.0. To produce the ideal fragrance and flavor, the grains must first be 
adequately aged to lower their moisture level. 
 
Basmati rice is indigenous to Pakistan and India, with India producing two-thirds of the world's supply. 
Archaeologists have found a variety of long-grain rice near Udaipur, India that dates back to between 
2000 and 1600 BC and which they think to be an ancestor of the basmati rice we enjoy today, but its real 
origins are unknown. 
 
 
Basmati rice has a substantially lower glycemic index than the majority of rice varieties, especially white 
rice. Basmati rice is a food with a moderate to medium glycemic index, falling between 50 and 58. Small 
servings of basmati rice can be a part of a balanced diet if you have diabetes.
