We all know how it feels to be standing at the grocery line and looking at various bags of rice, thousands of them, and thinking which of these bags will actually turn out to be fluffy and fragrant. It is frustrating when you take time preparing food, and yet the grains become mushy, sticky, and worst of all, tasteless.
We have perfected the art of sourcing and processing the finest harvests at Kuber Agro over the years. Being the parent company of Oscar Basmati Rice, we understand that the big gap between an average meal and a gourmet experience is as simple as a purity test. It does not require going to a lab to do so, only having an idea of what to observe.
This is our map on where to find grain of high quality on every occasion.
Consistency is your best friend when you are looking at a handful of grain. Quality grains must be of identical size, shape, and color. When you are purchasing Oscar extra long grain basmati rice, say, you will see that the grains are long and slender, and they do not have the white bellies (the chalky spots that show that the grain may break during cooking).
Nature has a sense of quality with smell. Good quality, authentic grain, particularly Basmati of high quality, is to possess a unique, pleasant smell before it is cooked. When the rice odor is musty or nonexistent, it is probably likely to be either old or improperly stored. We are proud to make our rice maintain the signature nutty smell that fills up your kitchen just as the steam hits.
Did you not know that rice, like a good tea or a good cheese, only grows older and older? Old rice is drier in nature; thus, the grains remain individualized and lengthen when boiled. At Kuber Agro, we make sure that our high-quality batches are aged to the perfect point, which leaves the experience of the extra long grain basmati rice that is the ultimate of luxury dining.
Should you already have purchased your grain, and should you be anxious about its purity, you can, by this simple trick, test it:
When the grains form a large number of floats or the water becomes too clouded immediately, it may be an indication of impurities or artificial polish of the surface.
In our opinion, what you place on your table is a reflection of your concern for your family. And that is why we consider each pack of Oscar Gold Basmati Rice to be a guarantee of purity. When you purchase grains that have these simple tests, you are not merely purchasing food, but you are making an investment in your health and taste.
