Himalaya River Extra Long Grain Basmati Rice, 5kg

Himalaya River Extra Long Grain Basmati Rice is a premium-quality rice known for its exceptional length, delicate aroma, and fluffy texture. Grown in the fertile foothills of the Himalayan region, this Basmati rice benefits from the unique terroir of the area – rich alluvial soil, pristine mountain water, and ideal growing conditions that contribute to its distinctive flavour and character.

What sets this rice apart is its extra long grain, which elongates beautifully when cooked, remaining separate, light, and non-sticky – perfect for biryanis, pilafs, and special occasion dishes.

After harvest, Himalaya River Basmati is carefully aged in temperature-controlled storage vats, a traditional process that can last up to 24 months. This ageing allows the rice to mature naturally, enhancing its nutty aroma, reducing moisture content, and improving the overall texture and cooking performance.

The result is a beautifully fragrant, fluffy rice that elevates any dish with its elegance and authenticity.

Cooking advice: For best results wash rice then soak in cold water for 20 minutes. If using a closed pot, add the rice to boiling water in the ratio of 1 part rice to 1.75 parts water. Turn the heat down and cook gently for 10 minutes. Turn the heat off and leave to cool for 5 minutes.

Allergens: none
