Overview
Guard offers this extra long grain basmati, cultivated with Himalayan river water and steamed before packing, which changes the starch so it cooks into firm, less sticky grains than regular white rice.
Long, separate grains for biryani and pilaf are the reason to choose it. Steaming makes it cook a little differently from raw basmati, so water and time may need adjusting.
Who it's for
Good for Indian and Middle Eastern cooking where fluffy, separate grains matter. Small households may find the bag lasts a long time.
Pros and cons
- Extra long, slender grains
- Cooks firm and separate
- Less sticky than regular white rice
- Large bag for small kitchens
- Cooking directions not listed
- Aging period not stated
Performance notes
Steaming sets the starch before milling, so the grains hold shape and stay separate after cooking. Rinsing and the right water ratio decide how fluffy it turns out.
