Have you ever had the time to make a beautiful curry and then had the whole thing ruined by a lot of sticky, clumpy rice that has been cooked together? We’ve all been there. The parent organization of Oscar Basmati Rice is Kuber Agro, where we believe that the key to a great meal begins with the grain.
It is not necessarily the cooking method to get the unique, fluffy grains you get in fancy restaurants but the age of the rice. Now, we are going to explore the reasons as to why aged Basmati rice is what you need in your kitchen.
Basmati rice improves with age, just as does a fine vintage balsamic or a good cheese. By aged basmati rice we are referring to grains that have been kept between 12 and 24 months. Over time, the grains naturally lose moisture, making them firmer and drier.
This process is taken seriously at Kuber Agro. We make sure that Oscar Basmati Rice is aged carefully to the point that when it is on your plate, it has reached its maximum efficiency.
Why then does the aged rice remain apart? It boils down to the starch structure. Rice that has just been freshly harvested contains moisture and active starch. Then it takes very little time to gelatinize when cooked and gives it a sticky, gummy consistency.
However, as Basmati ages:
You have the desire to make your biryanis and pilafs taste as good as they do. Since the Oscar Basmati Rice is supported by the experience of Kuber Agro, we pay special attention to the importance of aging the rice according to the traditional procedures that modern mass production usually disregards.
You will find that when you use our aged basmati rice, there is an earthy, nutty fragrance that is simply lacking in new rice. It takes on flavors more readily, retains its shape even when saturated with heavy sauces, and provides a firm but tender bite that brings any food out of the ordinary into the realm of gourmet dishes.
When you want a fluffy pilaf but are ready to eat rice porridge, it is time to make a change to the type of grain that suits you and not the other way around. The easiest method of making an instant upgrade to your cooking is by choosing aged Basmati rice.
