Review: Excellent Quality Basmati That’s Hard to Find Locally - I ordered this Himalayan Chef Parboiled Basmati Rice on desertcart since it’s impossible to find quality basmati in my small town, and I’m so glad I did. Quality - Top-notch stuff. Cooks perfectly every time without getting mushy. Grain Length - Nice and long, just like real basmati should be. Gets even longer when cooked. Cleanliness - Super clean right out of the bag. Barely any debris to pick through. Grain Size - All the grains are pretty much the same size, so everything cooks evenly. Aroma - Smells amazing while cooking. That nutty, authentic basmati smell fills up the whole kitchen. Value for Money - Totally worth it. Yeah, it costs a bit more than regular rice, but the quality is way better and having it delivered to my door beats driving hours to find decent basmati. Honestly, this has become my go-to rice. If you’re in a small town like me and miss having access to good specialty products, this is a solid buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is amazing rice!
*by A***L on November 16, 2024*

This is the best rice..quality and taste. I had some issues with ordering two 5 bag orders. Two missing. These were so heavy that box came dismantled and 3 had air sealing broke. I wanted to reach out to pay for 3 bags I accidentally got extra when asking for 2 missing bags...so if company sees this please contact me! I want you to stay in business ;) Amazon would not let me pay.
