Product Description
Basmati brown rice has a lower glycemic index than other types of rice, which means that the carbohydrates in it are absorbed more slowly and do not spike blood sugar levels as much. Therefore, it is recommended for diabetics, people with insulin resistance, and those looking to lose weight to switch to this variety instead of white rice.
Brown rice has higher protein content than white rice and also contains more fat. It provides significant amounts of B vitamins (except B12), manganese, phosphorus, and iron, but is low in sodium.
Rice is an ancient and popular ingredient, the main food source for over half of the world's population. Basmati rice began to be cultivated at the foothills of the Himalayas thousands of years ago.
Basmati rice has longer grains than other types of rice, with a pleasant, slightly nutty aroma when cooked. It does not stick together.
Basmati rice is available in both white and brown varieties. The difference between brown rice and white rice is that during the milling process, brown rice retains a layer of fiber and nutritious bran.
Usage: Before cooking, rinse thoroughly. Cook in twice the amount of water for about 25-30 minutes. It can be enjoyed as a side dish, porridge, risotto, or used in salads, stuffed dishes, casseroles, as a soup ingredient, and also suitable for making desserts.
