INTRODUCTION TO BASMATI

The foothills of the Himalayas from the province of Punjab(five rivers) provides the best soil and climate for the superior quality basmati rice. The rice is famous for its excellent cooking, extra long grain length, unique fragrance and taste.

Basmati is considered as the “prince of fragrance” or “the perfumed one” due to its unique aroma and delicately nutty taste. Basmati has been revered for centuries, including by Moghul Emperors. People in Europe, America and the Middle East (in particular Saudi Arabia and Iran), are consuming more Basmati than ever before. Demand for Basmati in Europe& USA is increasing every year.

The legend says that basmati rice was meant to be consumed by maharajas (kings), maharanis (queens), princes and royal families. This unique rice is just one crop a year grown only in Pakistan and northern India, the region known as old Punjab – the land of five rivers originating from Himalayas.
