Why Rice is loved by all?

Rice is arguably one of the best foods in the world. According to rice manufacturers it is arguably the second most cultivated cereal in the world. It would not be wrong to say that it is the staple food of half of the world.

The best quality Basmati rice is cultivated at the foothills of Himalayas. The soil and climate of the place account for the aroma, taste and texture of basmati rice.

It is derived from a Hindi word which means ‘Queen of Fragrance’. Basmati has a long and fine aromatic flavor which is characterized by long and slender grains. It is perfumed, has nut like flavor and aroma which can be attributed to the fact that the grain is aged.

When it is cooked it only increases lengthwise which give long slender grains. Later they become dry, separate and fluffy. The non basmati rice exporters will not understand the essence of cultivating this rice.

Carbohydrates are found in rice and they form an essential part of any diet. This is because it provides energy to your body. All thanks to low-carb diet which helps to shed pounds.  Added to all it is also nutritious and economical.

The trick is to pick the right kind of carbohydrate so that you do not end up gaining weight. For example, a carbohydrate like sugar is bad for your health which can lead to obesity, overheating and diabetes. Complex carbohydrate includes things like bread, rice and starches.
