The name 'Basmati' literally means 'full of aroma'. Bas, in hindi, means 'aroma, and mati means 'full of' - hence, Basmati. The rice is distinctively different from other kinds of rice, especially due to its aroma and the elongation of the grains after it is cooked. No other rice comes in such appealing features, making it a special kind of rice. It is so special, that many call Basmati rice as 'The Champagne of India'.

It requires constant, 24/7 attention and vigilance from the farmer growing the plant. It's delicate makeup, however, ensures that it's complex, unique flavor and characteristics are all developed, properly and efficiently. The constant care and 'affection' is a contributing factor to it's premium price - and it is absolutely worth it. However, it so much more than just a 'special kind of rice'.
