Product Characteristics
BASMATI RICE IS A HERITAGE OF INDO GANGETIC PLANES.....   All Aromatic rice are not Basmati but all Basmati rice are aromatic

Basmati Rice is the most Treasured Grain grown only once in Indo Gangetic Plains of Himalaya and in some parts of Northern India where Soil and Weather Conditions are most favourable for its growth. Basmati rice is different from other aromatic rice varieties mainly due to the extra-long slender grains that elongate at least twice of their original size when cooked, Fluffier and produce a typical aroma and distinct Nutty flavour. Just like all species of rice, basmati is available in white or brown versions, depending on the extent of the milling process. Like jasmine rice, it has its own unique smell. In the case of basmati, this smell is due to the presence of a chemical called 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, which is found in basmati rice at about 90 parts per billion. That's about 12 times more than in other types of rice, giving basmati its special aroma. Brown basmati rice is comparable to other types of brown rice in nutrient content (although it does contain about 20% more fiber compared to most other types of brown rice), and white basmati rice is comparable to other types of white rice."

Basmati Rice is low in G.I. hence Basmati Rice is good for Diabetic people to eat especially Golden Parboiled as it has less of Starch.

Basmati Rice is mostly processed to Brown, White or Parboiled (Sella) variety
