The Indian Heritage

Basmati, the highly aromatic rice is nature’s gift to the Indian sub-continent and it is India’s gift to the whole world. Farmers in the northern parts of the country, at the foot of the Himalayan mountain ranges have been growing this scented rice for centuries. Basmati grown in India, they say, is as great as the land and as old as the civilization itself. The tropical climate and soil prevailing at the foothills of the Himalayas is perfect for Basmati rice cultivation.

Flavour
