Basmati Rice
बासमती चावल · బాస్మతి బియ్యం
Long-grain aromatic rice with a lower GI than regular white rice due to its higher amylose content.
Nutrition per Serving
Sugars shown are total sugars (naturally occurring + added) per serving and are approximate. For fruits and dairy this is mostly natural sugar; for sweets and many cooked dishes it reflects added sugar or jaggery.
Tips to Manage Blood Sugar
Rinse thoroughly and soak 20 minutes before cooking. The long grain structure gives it a naturally lower GI than short-grain varieties.
