Deep Extra-Long Basmati Rice is a premium variety of basmati rice known for its exceptionally long grains and rich aroma. Perfect for biryani, pulao, and other traditional dishes, this rice enhances the visual appeal and taste of your meals, making every dish a culinary delight.

Extra-Long Basmati Rice vs. Basmati Rice: While all basmati rice varieties are known for their fragrance and fluffy texture, Deep Extra-Long Basmati Rice stands out due to its superior length and slender grains. These extra-long grains remain separate and non-sticky after cooking, making them ideal for dishes like biryani, where presentation and texture are key.

Basmati Rice for Biryani: Deep Extra-Long Basmati Rice is the preferred choice for making biryani, as its long, aromatic grains absorb the flavors of the spices and meat, resulting in a dish that is both fragrant and flavorful. Whether you’re preparing a Hyderabadi biryani or a Lucknowi biryani, this rice ensures that your dish will be authentic and delicious.

Calories and Nutrition: A 1-cup serving of cooked Deep Extra-Long Basmati Rice contains approximately 200 calories. It is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy, and has a moderate glycemic index, making it a suitable option for balanced diets. The rice is also naturally gluten-free and low in fat, contributing to a nutritious meal.

Basmati Rice to Water Ratio: For perfect results, the recommended basmati rice to water ratio is 1:2 when cooking on a stovetop or in a rice cooker. This ensures that the grains cook evenly, remain fluffy, and do not stick together. When using an Instant Pot, a 1:1.5 ratio works best, adjusting the water slightly for desired texture.

Cooking and Storing Tips: To cook Deep Extra-Long Basmati Rice, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it for 30 minutes before cooking to allow the grains to expand fully. For optimal results, use a rice cooker or Instant Pot, following the recommended water ratios. Store the rice in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and aroma.

Basmati Rice vs. Jasmine Rice: While both basmati and jasmine rice are aromatic, they differ in texture and flavor. Basmati rice, especially the extra-long variety, is lighter, fluffier, and has a nutty flavor, making it ideal for Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Jasmine rice is shorter, stickier, and slightly sweeter, commonly used in Southeast Asian dishes.

Available Sizes and Price: Deep Extra-Long Basmati Rice is available in various pack sizes, including 10kg and 20kg bags, catering to both individual and large family needs. These larger packs are ideal for those who frequently cook rice or host gatherings.
