Akash Basmati Rice is available at Red Rickshaw which is made accessible within the marketplace of the United Kingdom. But what is a bowl of basmati rice? It is a variety of long-grained rice that originates in the foothills of the Himalayas and is traditionally served in Indian cuisines. It is frequently served alongside various curries, roasted meats, and is sometimes served plain but often flavoured with turmeric or saffron.

It has a distinct nutty flavour and unique, slightly floral aroma which is similar to that of jasmine rice. However, basmati rice cooking is often used in India while jasmine rice is often used in Thailand. But the basmati rice has a slightly softer grain than jasmine rice while the latter has a nuttier flavour. Basmati rice is healthy and is full of nutrition. Hence, it is often used by Asians.

The carbs in basmati rice are 45.6 grams. Aside from this, it contains many other minerals and nutrients and has various health benefits as well. Here are among the health benefits of basmati rice:

Low in arsenic. As compared to other types of rice, basmati rice is lower in arsenic. It is a heavy metal that is harmful to one?s health and potentially increases the risk of diabetes, heart problems, and certain cancers, as well. Aside from this, its glycemic index is between 50 and 58 which means if one has diabetes, small portions of basmati rice can be part of a healthy diet.

May be enriched. White basmati rice is often enriched. This means that certain nutrients are added during its processing to help boost its nutritional value. This in turn can make it easier to meet the needs of those who consume it for its variety of important vitamins and minerals. To be specific, it is enriched with iron and B vitamins like folic acid, thiamine, and niacin.

Some are whole grains. Brown basmati rice is considered a whole grain. This means that it contains all the three parts of a kernel?the germ, bran, and endosperm. Whole grains are associated with multiple health benefits. For instance, an analysis of 45 studies tied the grain intake to a lower risk of heart disease, cancer, and death.
