What makes our Basmati special?

Flavour
Our organic Basmati rice is of the variety Organic Super Kernel. It has a wonderfully light earthy taste. It is perfect for all savoury dishes, Indian curries and dals, and is ideal for rice pans. It also fits as an amazing side dish for fish, meat and vegetable dishes - a true all-rounder!

Grain
Our Himalayan Basmati is a long grain rice and complies with the stringent regulations for the Code of Practice on Basmati.

According to the purity requirement for original Basmati rice, the grains must have an average length of at least 6.5 mm, the foreign rice content must not exceed 7%, and the rice must have the typical Basmati flavour.

Most of our Basmati grains actually exceed these requirements. They are usually 7-8mm long.

Consistency
Our organic Basmati is very loose and has a pleasant light bite – exactly what you expect from a quality Basmati rice.

Origin
Our “Organic Super Kernel” Basmati rice is organically grown at the foot of the Himalayas in Pakistan. The Himalaya region is considered the best growing area in the world for Basmati rice. In fact, according to the Code of Practice on Basmati, rice can only be sold as Basmati if it comes from certain areas in India and Pakistan.

Cultivation and Harvest

Because organic farming in Asia has not progressed very far, we have been searching for high-quality organic Basmati for a long time.

We have spared no expense and effort in finding the perfect organic Basmati for you. We are proud to say our Basmati has a strong white grain and has the earthy notes true to a genuine Basmati variety.

Nutrition Profile

Basmati, like any quality rice, contains many essential nutrients. Rice supplies our body with important complex carbohydrates, valuable protein, and is low in fat. It gives us energy and keeps you satiated. In addition, rice contains essential amino acids, vitamins, magnesium, zinc and potassium.

Why organic? In contrast to conventional foods, organic foods must not contain any artificial colourings, sweeteners, flavour enhancers or stabilizers. This ensures your rice is completely pure.
