Nutritional Information
Basmati rice is a grain that is naturally a source of carbohydrates, with small amounts of protein. White basmati is milled, so it is lighter in fiber than brown rice. Please refer to the Nutrition Facts panel on the bag for exact values per serving and any allergen or facility notes.


Cooking Suggestions
• Rinse the rice in several changes of water until it runs mostly clear
• Soak for 20 to 30 minutes so the grains lengthen and cook evenly
• For open-pot cooking, boil in plenty of salted water and drain once the grains are just tender
• Layer par-cooked rice with spiced chicken or vegetables for dum biryani
• Make jeera rice by tempering cumin in ghee before adding soaked rice and water


Frequently Asked Questions
What is the rice to water ratio for basmati?
A common starting point is about 1 cup soaked rice to 1.5 to 1.75 cups water on the stovetop. Adjust slightly for your pot and preference.
Why do my basmati grains break?
Stirring too much or cooking too long can break the grains. Rinse gently, soak, and fluff with a fork only after resting.
How should I store a 10 lb bag?
Transfer to an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dry place away from moisture and pantry pests.
