Non Basmati Rice

Category: Rice

Non-basmati rice comes in various shapes and sizes, such as long and slender, short and thick, round, and bead-like, each differing from basmati rice. Some non-basmati varieties, like PR, 104, IR8, IR 64, and Masuri, may have a similar shape to basmati rice but lack its distinctive aromatic qualities. Basmati rice is a long-grain, aromatic rice, renowned for its extra-long slender grains that can double in length when cooked. Grown mainly in the Himalayan foothills, basmati rice is known for its soft, fluffy texture and nutty flavor. Unlike basmati, white rice is a shorter-grain, starchy variety that is more chewy in texture. The non-basmati rice, especially varieties like IR8 and Masuri, are typically polished, with a golden color and are available in medium-grain sizes. These rice varieties are fully polished, meaning they have been processed to achieve a smooth texture and uniform appearance. They come in loose packaging, allowing for flexible quantities, and have a shelf life of 12 months. While they are of good quality, their grade is classified as "A." The rice's color varies, but it is generally a white or golden shade, which is typical for medium-grain rice varieties. In terms of cooking and usage, non-basmati rice varieties are versatile, used widely in different cuisines, and can serve as a more affordable alternative to basmati rice. Whether for everyday meals or special dishes, non-basmati rice serves the needs of households and culinary establishments alike.
