ORGANIC BASMATI RICE

Organic Basmati Rice

Rice is the staple grain in the diet of half the world’s population, according to the International Rice Research Institute. When it comes to rice options, basmati rice in its whole-grain form may be one of the better choices. While there is a rice diet, there’s no basmati rice diet, but that doesn’t mean it can’t fit into any healthy diet plan.
