Why Basmati Rice?
White or brown is the common debate when it comes to rice, however, there are thousands of types of rice that come into question. Basmati is one of our favorites because it is known as being one of the healthiest, and it tastes great too! According to Spices Inc, “Long grain rice is healthier than short grain rice, since short grain rice ranks higher on the glycemic index than long grain rice does.” Foods with a low GI are digested and absored into your body slower, making it better for more sustainable energy. But keep in mind, The GI of rice varies on how you cook it.
