Brown Basmati Rice
Brown basmati rice is a whole-grain long rice with a nutty aroma. It stays separate when cooked and works well beside saucy curries, stews, and vegetable dishes.
Identity
What it is
A whole-grain aromatic rice.
Brown basmati keeps the bran layer, so it tastes nuttier and cooks longer than white basmati.

How to use it
Rinse, simmer, and let it steam before serving.
Use it as a base or side for saucy dishes. Resting after cooking helps the grains finish absorbing steam.
