How to Cook White Basmati Rice for the Best Texture
Simple stovetop method
Rinse the grains in cold water before cooking. Use 1 cup rice to 2 cups water, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes. Let it rest briefly before fluffing with a fork.
Tip for a lighter finish
Soaking organic basmati rice for around 1 hour can help the grains cook more evenly and produce a softer, longer texture once steamed.

This white basmati rice works well with curries, dahls, stir-fries, roasted vegetables, and grain bowls. Its mild flavour supports rich sauces as well as lighter, fresher dishes.

Please note that we are the retailer, not the manufacturer of the products we sell.
We work hard to keep our product information accurate and up to date. However, manufacturers may occasionally change ingredients, descriptions, or production practices without notifying us. We recommend always checking the product label upon receipt.
For loose products, if you require a specific country of origin or best before date, please contact us before placing your order.
Product photographs are for illustrative purposes only. Natural products may vary in colour, particle size, and other characteristics.

Allergen Information
As a bulk foods store, despite maintaining a Five-Star Food Hygiene rating, the presence of allergens cannot be fully eliminated. Sacks of products containing allergens are opened and closed daily as we scoop and refill our shop dispensers. We use separate scoops for each product and store each product in its own container or original sack — however, products containing allergens are not stored or packed in a self-contained area.
This means all products may contain traces of allergens due to cross-contamination.
Where a product is indicated as free from a particular allergen, this means it has not been formulated from or wholly derived from that ingredient. Allergen handling procedures are in place throughout our supply chain to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, but this cannot be guaranteed.
If you have a severe food allergy, please contact us before ordering so we can advise whether our products are suitable for you.
If you are unsure whether a product is suitable for your allergy, please contact us before purchasing.
