Non-Basmati Rice
Non-Basmati Rice (Oryza sativa) encompasses a wide range of rice varieties that are distinct in shape, size, and texture. Unlike the slender, aromatic Basmati grains, non-Basmati rice comes in diverse forms—from short and medium-grain to broken and parboiled. These varieties are staples in many global cuisines, favored for their ability to absorb flavors and provide a satisfying texture to dishes. Non-Basmati rice is commonly used in everyday meals, from traditional Indian curries to stir-fries and fried rice. It’s a versatile and affordable option for both home cooks and restaurants, offering a variety of culinary possibilities.
