Aar Cee Superior White Basmati rice is a fragrant extra long grain rice. It shines brightest in traditional Indian and Middle Eastern dishes, but you will find this incredible product translates perfectly to any dish you make for you and your family. Tender and delicate, the grains are fluffy and are separate after cooking. Aged to perfection, this aromatic rice is a fantastic addition to any meal.

Our basmati rice comes all the way from India, where it is re-cleaned in Vancouver, ensuring a superior product. It is not put through bleaching, pearling, oiling, or powdering processes, letting it retain its natural flavour and high nutritional value. Before cooking, we recommend washing it in several changes of cold water.
