TAJ Gourmet Foods Brown Basmati Rice 10 lb — Naturally Aged Whole-Grain, High Fiber & Fragrant Long Grains

TAJ Gourmet Brown Basmati Rice is a naturally aged, whole-grain basmati grown in the Himalayan foothills, delivering fragrant long grains with higher protein and fiber than white rice.

Harvested and minimally processed to retain the bran layer, this 10-pound bag of brown basmati brings nutty flavor, firm texture, and whole-grain nutrition to everyday meals. It pairs well with curries, pilafs, salads, and grain bowls, and is an option for anyone who prefers the fuller taste and texture of intact brown rice over polished white rice.

How does TAJ Brown Basmati differ from regular white basmati?

Brown basmati preserves the bran and germ, which means it keeps more of the grain's original nutrients and a chewier texture. The aging process enhances the basmati aroma while maintaining the whole-grain profile.

• Whole-grain kernel with bran intact for added fiber and protein
• Naturally aged to deepen aroma and improve cooking consistency
• Long, separate grains that stay fluffy when cooked
• Sourced from the Himalayan foothills in India where basmati thrives

What are the best ways to cook this brown basmati for everyday meals?

Brown basmati needs slightly more water and time than white rice, but the result is a flavorful, separate-grain texture ideal for savory dishes. Rinse first, then simmer gently until tender; a rice cooker or covered pot produces reliable results.

• Rinse under cold water until it runs clear to remove excess starch
• Use approximately 2 to 2.5 cups water per cup rice, depending on preference
• Simmer 30–40 minutes, then let stand covered for 10 minutes before fluffing
• Works well in pilafs, grain bowls, salads, and as a curry side

How can I store this 10-pound bag to preserve freshness?

Because the bran layer is intact, brown rice is more sensitive to oxidation and can benefit from airtight, cool storage. Proper storage keeps the natural aroma and texture intact for weeks to months.

• Keep sealed in its original bag inside an airtight container
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• For longer shelf life, refrigerate or freeze in airtight packaging
• Label with purchase date to track freshness
