Rice (Basmati & Non Basmati)

Rice is a staple food consumed worldwide, and it is primarily categorized into Basmati and Non-Basmati varieties. Basmati rice is known for its long grains, distinctive aroma, and fluffy texture when cooked. Grown mainly in India and Pakistan, it is highly valued in international markets for its premium quality and unique flavor. Non-Basmati rice, on the other hand, includes a wide range of varieties differing in grain size, texture, and taste. These are cultivated across various regions and are more commonly used in everyday cooking due to their affordability and versatility. Non-Basmati types include short, medium, and long-grain rice, such as Sona Masoori, IR64, and Ponni. Both varieties serve different culinary purposes, with Basmati often reserved for special dishes like biryani and pilaf, while Non-Basmati is preferred for regular meals.
