Basmati Rice
Basmati rice, a type of rice fed by the snowy waters of the Himalayan Mountains, is longer and larger than conventional rice types. Rice with a semi-matt, translucent color is among the types of self-flavored rice. The word basmati means "perfume, perfumed" in Sanskrit. This is the reason why basmati rice became a prince, even in his homeland, in a very special land, demanding very special conditions.
It is a rare type of rice. For this reason, for many years, it only adorned the table of the nobility in the Southeast Asian region. Due to its low starch content, it cooks in grains and enchants with its wonderful aroma while cooking.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to grow this type of rice in Turkey as it requires special climatic conditions. Basmati rice grows in temperate climates with plenty of water. The harvest of basmati rice, which is planted between May and July according to the climatic conditions of the geography where it is grown, is done between November and January.
