Long, slender, and naturally fragrant grain, originating from the Himalayan region (India/Pakistan). Lower glycemic index than standard white rice thanks to its unique starch structure.

Benefits of Bonneterre Organic Basmati Rice

• Long, naturally fragrant grain: Basmati rice naturally contains 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, an aromatic compound that gives it its characteristic nutty and floral scent — inimitable by other varieties.
• More moderate glycemic index: Basmati rice has a GI of 50-58 (medium) compared to 70+ for standard long-grain white rice, thanks to its starch structure rich in amylose, which slows down digestion and glucose absorption.
• Source of plant-based protein (7.4g/100g) and complex carbohydrates.
• Certified organic, no additives.
