BASMATI RICE, BABY

Description:
Basmati rice means the "queen of fragrance or the perfumed one." Well known for its delightful flavor, Basmati Rice is grown in India and Pakistan around the Himalayan Foothills, as well as in Iran.     Offering a sweet and nutty flavor, Basmati Rice is often served in Indian and Asian cooking. The grains of this Rice cook up separate and fluffy giving off a nutlike aroma. Basmati is similar to Jasmine Rice but has a more concentrated flavor.  Baby Basmati Rice has a more delicate flavor and texture than regular Basmati.

Suggested Use:
Use Baby Basmati Rice in any dish calling for Basmati.  Baby Basmati Rice is superb when steamed with aromatic spices and has long been known as the fragrant breakfast rice.  Excellent in Thai style pork stew, Indian vegetable rice, popcorn chicken, curries and dessert puddings.  The fragrant taste of Baby Basmati Rice goes well with spicy curries or stir-fry.  Substitute in any recipe calling for long grain White Rice.  Can be mixed with dried fruits, nuts, herbs and spices for added flavor.
