• Texmati Rice is the most widely recognized brand of aromatic rice in the US.
• This aromatic rice is a mixture between American long-grain rice and Indian basmati rice. As its name implies, it is grown primarily in Texas.
• It has a more distinctive aroma and flavor than American long-grain rice, but less than basmati rice.
• Texmati rice is available in white and brown (unprocessed) forms. White rice sets off food flavors more distinctly, while brown rice has a higher fiber content and takes longer to cook.
• Unlike regular rice, Texmati when cooked, has the appetizing aroma of popcorn and a subtle nutty taste. It cooks up fluffy and separate in 15 minutes.
• It can be served alone as a delicious side dish or can be used to enhance any recipe.
• Texmati is an aromatic variety of rice that smells like popcorn when cooking, and has a delicious, nutty taste, not bland like ordinary rice. It cooks up light and fluffy every time.
• Texmati costs more than some rice because it doesn't produce as much rice per acre at harvest as ordinary (plain) long grain varieties.
• This rice was created in the United States to mimic Basmati Rice. It is a good rice but has failed to have all the characteristics of Basmati.
