Long Grain Basmati Rice

Long Grain Basmati Rice is an aromatic long-grain rice traditionally grown in the Indian subcontinent and widely used in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines; it is prized for its fragrant aroma and light, fluffy texture when cooked. As a staple carbohydrate, Long Grain Basmati Rice is primarily a source of energy and also provides 7.5g of protein per 100g; it is low in fat and relatively low in fiber compared with whole grains. Compared with wholegrain options, Long Grain Basmati Rice delivers quick-digesting starch and modest amounts of trace minerals but contains fewer protective plant compounds and less fiber, so swapping to wholegrain versions can boost satiety and micronutrient intake.
