White Pearl Basmati Rice 10kg

White Pearl Basmati Rice 10kg – What It Is

White Pearl Basmati Rice 10 kg is a premium single-variety basmati rice selected from experienced farmers in the West Punjab — the original home of true basmati rice. Aged for up to 18 months to deepen flavour, aroma and texture (note: “aged for up to 18 months”). The grains retain a milky colour — an indicator of a minimal polishing method that helps preserve more nutrients, flavour and aroma. The rice is produced in Pakistan, milled and packed in the UK.

With its long grains, delicate aroma and cross-cuisine versatility, White Pearl Basmati fits Indian, Pakistani, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and everyday western cuisine uses.

Cultural Significance

Basmati rice holds a special place in South Asian cuisine — the long grains, delicate aroma and fluffy texture are recognised in festive meals such as biryani and pilau. White Pearl’s commitment to aged, single-variety basmati from the Punjab ensures that the tradition of high-quality grain is upheld. The “milky colour” of the aged grain is a sign of quality and less aggressive polishing, preserving nutrients and taste.

FAQs

Q: Why is the rice aged?
A: Aging up to 18 months allows the grain to mature, reducing moisture and enhancing aroma, flavour and elongation when cooked.

Q: Does this rice suit Western style cooking too?
Yes — the pack description notes use in English, Chinese and Indian dishes, making it versatile.

Q: Is the rice suitable for a gluten-free diet?
Yes — basmati rice is naturally gluten-free. However, always check packaging for potential cross-contamination.

Q: How many portions does 10 kg provide?
As a guideline: 250 g uncooked (~1 cup) yields 4 generous portions. So 10 kg would roughly yield 40 x 4-portions = ~160 portions.
