Rice lovers all around the world can never say no to a warm bowl of freshly cooked Basmati rice instant pot.
There are many different types of rice available in the market today, but the Basmati’s extra-long slender grains, fragrant aroma, delicious taste and soft, fluffy texture upon cooking makes it a top choice with everyone. If you’re a fan and are in Bali, you can always order a bag of Basmati rice from Puri Pangan Utama, a trusted food supplier in the island.
Often used in Indian and Middle-Eastern cuisines, Basmati rice has become increasingly popular amongst rice eaters here in Indonesia and in many other parts of the world. It comes with a distinctive, unique and slightly “nutty” flavor that goes wonderfully well with Asian and Indonesian dishes; the rice is ideal to balance out intense and spicy flavors that would otherwise be too overbearing to enjoy on their own, like chicken curries, stews and other spice-laden dishes.
Basmati rice is also incredibly healthy, and great for all ages. It contains a plethora of nutrients and fibers that slow down the body’s digestion process which means you would feel full for longer while streamlining the blood sugar. It is also gluten-free and low in fat, and contains all eight essential amino acids and folic acid.
Low in sodium, Basmati rice has no cholesterol, and is great for diabetics or those who are on a low-carb diet; while most white rice have a high glycemic index, the Basmati’s glycemic index is only between 50 and 58. It also contains a significant amount of fiber, which can help with digestion and reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes.
