Tilda Pure Basmati Rice

A quarter cup, 45 g, is 160 kcal. Packs run from 2 lb to 20 lb. The page says this basmati can be grown in only one region, then purity tested. It does not print the country name.

The mill and factory are in Essex, at Rainham in the UK. Ebro Foods of Spain bought the brand from Hain Celestial. Two Rainham plants and 326 staff sit in that deal note. Nothing is milled in Canada.

Wash it until the water runs clear. Use 1 1/2 cups of water, 355 ml, for 1 cup of rice, and cook 15 minutes. Grains are meant to stay fluffy. It is gluten-free and vegan.
