Organic Rice, Basmati, White 1 lb

Organic brown basmati rice is a whole grain long-grain rice variety grown primarily in the foothills of the Himalayas in India and Pakistan. Unlike white basmati rice, the brown version retains its bran layer, making it more nutritious and slightly chewier with a nuttier flavor.
