One of the nature's finest products, GAUTAM CLASSIC Indian Basmati Rice is sourced from the traditional basmati growing regions, nurtured by the snow-fed Himalayan Rivers, carefully tended and harvested by hand. The paddy is tested for pedigree and aged for one year. It is cleaned, milled and packed in totally hands-free operations in a sophisticated world class rice making plant. On cooking, the grains fluff up, grow to thrice the original length and are the longest in the world. The cooked grains won't break or stick together and the aroma fills the house.
