Known for its extra-long, slender grains that elongate to at least twice their original size when cooked, Basmati rice offers a distinctive soft and fluffy texture, delicious taste, superior aroma, and a distinct flavor that sets it apart from other aromatic long-grain rice varieties. It's also high in dietary fiber and has a low glycemic index. This makes it an ideal grain to have in your meal plan following a healthy diet. Moreover, basmati rice is also low-carb and gluten-free — making it an excellent choice for people with diabetes or other gluten sensitivity issues.

In India, Basmati rice is grown in the specific geographical area, at the Himalayan foothills confined into few states of India. These states are located at northern parts of the country e.g., Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Western UP, Delhi, Bihar.
