Types of Rice
-
Superior Basmati Rice
Taste & Texture: Our aged Basmati rice offers an exceptionally nutty aroma with delicate flavour notes. When cooked, it expands dramatically, producing distinctively separate, fluffy grains with a firm texture and no stickiness.
Health Benefits: With a lower glycemic index than most rice varieties, Basmati provides slower energy release, making it suitable for blood sugar management. It contains essential amino acids and is naturally free from cholesterol and sodium.
Culinary Excellence: The ideal companion for curries, pilaf dishes, and briyanis. Its non-sticky nature and subtle flavour make it versatile across Middle Eastern, Indian, and fusion cuisines.
-
Premium Jasmine Rice
Taste & Texture: Our premium Jasmine rice delivers a distinctive floral aroma and subtle, nutty flavour. When cooked, the grains remain separate and fluffy with a soft, slightly sticky texture that absorbs flavours beautifully.
Health Benefits: Naturally gluten-free and low in fat, Jasmine rice provides essential carbohydrates for energy. Its moderate glycemic index makes it a more balanced option than short-grain varieties, while still offering B vitamins and minerals including iron and zinc.
Culinary Excellence: Perfect for Asian stir-fries, coconut-based curries, and as an aromatic base for grilled proteins. Its distinctive fragrance enhances both simple and complex dishes.
-
Calrose Rice
Taste & Texture: Our Calrose rice offers a clean, mild flavour that readily absorbs surrounding tastes. When cooked, these medium grains become tender with a slightly sticky exterior while maintaining a pleasant inner firmness.
Health Benefits: Provides complex carbohydrates for sustained energy release. Contains important minerals including phosphorus and manganese, while being naturally free from cholesterol and low in sodium.
Culinary Excellence: Versatile for everyday cooking, particularly suited for sushi, rice bowls, casseroles, and dishes requiring rice with moderate adhesion. Its balanced texture works in both Asian and Western preparations.
-
Glutinous Rice
Taste & Texture: Despite its name, our glutinous rice is gluten-free with a mild, slightly sweet flavour. When cooked, it develops a remarkably sticky, chewy texture with grains that bind together cohesively.
Health Benefits: Contains resistant starch that functions as dietary fibre, supporting digestive health. Its dense texture promotes satiety, while providing manganese, selenium, and magnesium for metabolic function.
Culinary Excellence: Essential for sweet desserts like mango sticky rice, savoury dim sum applications, and traditional wrapped dishes. Its binding properties make it ideal for moulded rice preparations.
