This traditional cultivation process is what makes basmati rice so unique compared to standard white rice varieties.

5 reviews for Basmati Rice | Whole Grain

  1. T. Therriault (verified owner)

    I made a delicious rice and beans recipe with these – they cooked up perfectly and tasted delicious.

    My only complaint is that I would like to see cooking directions on the package (it’s not a deal-breaker – I googled a recipe, but it would have been that much easier cooking directions were right on the package).

    Love! Will order again (and again and again!)
