Banno Extra Long Basmati Rice is a carefully selected long-grain variety with exceptionally slender grains that elongate during cooking, a delicate, slightly nutty aroma, and a loose, fluffy texture. Its natural "falling apart" texture makes it perfect for biryani, pulao, and aromatic curries, as well as an elegant accompaniment to meat, fish, vegetables, and vegetarian dishes. The grains remain separate and light, making them easy to serve and achieving a restaurant-quality effect on the plate. Preparation: Rinse in clear water, optionally soak for 20–30 minutes; cook at a ratio of approximately 1:1.5–1.75 (rice:water) over low heat, covered, for 12–15 minutes, then set aside for 5–10 minutes and fluff with a fork (use the white/basmati rice setting in your rice cooker). It pairs perfectly with cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, and ghee. Naturally gluten-free and low in glycemic index, it's a great choice for balanced meals (always check the label for cross-contamination). Store in a dry, cool, and dark place in a tightly closed container, away from moisture and strong odors, to preserve freshness and flavor.
