Basmati is a variety of long, slender-grained aromatic rice which is traditionally grown in the Indian subcontinent, mainly India, and Pakistan, as well as some regions of Sri Lanka and Nepal.

Basmati rice is high in B vitamins, including B1 (thiamine). It has 22% of your daily recommended intake in each serving. Thiamine is crucial for brain health, and a deficiency can lead to a condition called Wernicke encephalopathy.

Incorporating Basmati rice into your diet offers numerous health benefits, from supporting heart health to aiding digestion and boosting brain function. Its rich nutrient profile and unique characteristics make it a valuable addition to any meal.
