Organic Brown Basmati Rice

"Basmati rice" literally means - the fragrant rice. Unique climatic conditions found in the rich, fertile Himalayan foothills, contribute to the characteristic aromatic qualities of Indian basmati rice. The long, slender grains of basmati rice are popular for their popcorn like taste worldwide. Each grain cooks separate and fluffy.

Enray is proud to be the first to offer organic basmati rice in the US. Our organic basmati rice is grown by many small farmers groups. We support the livelihood of our basmati farmers by paying the farmers a premium for their crop. As a result of these efforts, a co-operative of the small farmers has been formed and to further their cause and encourage sustainable farming practices, Enray introduced Fair Trade (TM) organic basmati rice in the US - the premiums from which are used by the cooperative to build access roads, schools and to develop basic infrastructure in the farming communities.

Brown basmati rice has the bran layer intact, hence it is nutritionally rich in minerals and vitamins. As per the new Food Pyramid guidelines issued by the FDA, brown rice is considered as a whole grain. Recommended portions of whole grain intake in diet helps in reducing cholesterol. Brown rice is also an excellent source of fiber. It takes about 40-45 minutes to cook and is commonly used for salads or as a side dish.
