Nutritional Benefits of Gluten Free Basmati Rice
The word, “Basmati” means fragrant one in Sanskrit and it also means the “soft rice.” Acclaimed for its nutty flavor and delicate texture, Basmati is used in making a range of culinary delights and rice dishes all over the world. India is the largest cultivator and exporter of this rice, and the majority of Basmati rice comes from the fields of Punjab.
LOW IN CALORIES
Compared with grain rice plain, basmati rice is low in calories But, Not only has a good aroma, basmati rice also has good nutritional value: Calorie. A serving about 3/4 cup basmati rice contains 150 calories.
HELPS GLYCEMIC INDEX
This rice is recommended for diabetic patients. According to the Canadian Diabetes Association, Basmati rice has a “medium” glycemic index, which is lower than other varieties of rice. Fiber, especially soluble fiber helps improve insulin sensitivity, which can improve control over the release of insulin as a result of the consumption of carbohydrates and protein. This can help improve a diabetic condition and also help avoid it.
FIBER KEEPS YOU REGULAR
The high fiber content in Basmati Rice will help reduce rectal muscle movement and also reduce pressure on the rectum so that hemorrhoids can be prevented.
STORAGE OF GERBS BASMATI RICE
We strongly recommend storing in an airtight container in a cool, dark environment like a pantry or kitchen cabinet, away from direct exposure to sunlight or excessive heat like an oven. The amount of times you open the container and let in the harmful effects of oxygen will only increase the likelihood of rancidity; thus we encourage you to not empty more than 1 pound of product at a time. Gerbs can be frozen too, but we do not recommend it, because the cell structures will change as the product thaws out!

Spectacular This is my favorite rice I've ever had. So fragrant, and has a very distinct flavor when cooked. I love to mix it with carrots, broccoli, and some chicken seasoned with chipotle chili powder. A staple of my diet, and a must-buy whenever I see it available on the site!

I haven’t had rice in two years since my food allergies started. I am forever grateful for these!

Will Order Again (and Again and Again...) I made a delicious rice and beans recipe with these - they cooked up perfectly and tasted delicious.My only complaint is that I would like to see cooking directions on the package (it's not a deal-breaker - I googled a recipe, but it would have been that much easier cooking directions were right on the package).Love! Will order again (and again and again!)
