Kari Basumathi - Raw Polished

We’d like to introduce you to Kari Basumathi, a rare indigenous variety that belongs to India’s rich array of scented cultivars. This long, fine grain originates from Karnataka and has a growth period of approximately 120 days. The name "Kari Basumathi" translates to aromatic rice grown in black soil, with "Kari" meaning black, symbolizing its cultivation in fertile soil. Interestingly, anecdotal evidence suggests that Kari Basumathi may have originated as Kala Namak before making its way to Karnataka, where it was embraced as a distinct variety. A fine, scented long grain, Kari Basumathi is our top recommendation for Biryanis and Pulavs.

It is recommended to store rice in a cool, dry area. If it needs to be preserved for a long period, say over a month or more, dried neem leaves can be added into the pack/box. It is better to avoid storing in humid areas as this would cause pests to form faster. Since our heritage rice is purely organic, the husk is sweeter, which in turn could invite pests if not stored as suggested above.
