A type of long grain rice, basmati rice has a nutty flavor and floral aroma, and is traditionally found in Indian and other South Asian dishes.
The name “basmati” has been derived from its counterpart in Hindi, which translates into “fragrant.” It is believed that it has been cultivated across the Indian sub-continent since centuries.
At Core Goods, our basmati rice is grown by Lundberg Farms, a family-owned farm in California. It is organic, non-gmo, and certified gluten-free.
Basmati rice is light and fluffy, and perfect as a side dish with curry, alongside roasted or braised meat, in fried rice, or in many other delicious recipes (see below).
We also have brown jasmine rice at Core Goods! Learn more about it here.
