BASMATI ENHANCES ANY ENTRÉE WITH ITS TOUCH OF “ROYALTY”
The “queen of fragrance” Basmati rice originated in India, but is also domestically grown. This popular aromatic long grain rice variety with its distinctive nutty flavor and fragrance creates out-of-the-ordinary recipes to accompany most any entrée. Basmati is a favorite with operators in search of that unique menu component.
