Our Basmati rice is grown in the selected region, especially in the Himalayan foothills, which is the only place where Basmati can be grown. Another reason for getting the Basmati only in Himalayan region is, here plentiful rivers nourishes the soil and make it much more fertile for the cultivation of Basmati.
The Crop of Basmati is cultivated from June to November and it takes a lot of care while cultivating the Basmati otherwise, it will loose it nature.It is true that recognizing pure basmati rice is as difficult as recognizing a diamond. Like a diamond, the cut of the grain indicates whether it is basmati or any other rice. A basmati grain is shaped like a sword and post cooking each grain elongates at least twice that of its original size. The rich aroma is another way by which one can recognize basmati rice.
