THE REASONS WHY OUR BASMATI RICE IS THE BEST

If you think rice is just rice, here are just a few of the reasons why Basmati is best and why to choose our Basmati over ordinary rice.

OUR BASMATI RICE IS A HEALTHY ‘SUPERGRAIN’

Basmati is gluten-free and low in fat. It contains all eight essential amino acids, folic acid, and is very low in sodium and has no cholesterol.
It has a low to medium glycaemic index, meaning that energy is released at a slower, steadier rate leading to a more balanced level of energy.

OUR BASMATI IS A TASTE SENSATION

ALNAJDI Basmati tastes like no other rice on earth. Unlike ordinary long grain rice the light, fluffy texture of Basmati’s long, slender grains offers the palate a totally different experience in terms of mouth-feel and taste – distinctive and unique.

ALNAJDI BASMATI RICE HAS A WONDERFUL AROMA

Literally translated as ‘the fragrant one’, ALNAJDI Basmati rice has been described as having the aroma of ZAFRAN. 

BASMATI REQUIRES CONSTANT LOVE AND AFFECTION

There is only one Basmati harvest a year and the plant requires specific weather conditions to mature and flourish. It is much taller than other rices, and so is prone to wind damage. Its delicate make-up explains the constant need for vigilance and care by the farmer, yet allows the plant to develop its complex and unique flavoure and characteristics. This constant love and affection is reflected in its premium price compared to ordinary long grain rice.

AlNAJDI BASMATI IS A DREAM TO COOK

Cooking with ALNAJDI Basmati means light, delicate and separate grains.

That’s because we carefully mill our grains, rejecting broken grains that would otherwise release starch and cause the rice to become sticky. Uniquely, our basmati grain expands more than twice its dry length during cooking. Unlike other types of rice the grains only expand lengthways resulting in the grains retaining their long slender characteristic when cooked.
