Golden Basmati Rice is a cultivar of basmati rice that has been parboiled or partially boiled while still in its husk and then milled . So Golden is actually parboiled basmati rice . The rice turns pale yellow after parboiling hence the name ‘ Golden ‘ .

The process of parboiling allows the rice to retain more of its vitamins and minerals from the original grain. The procedure also alters the texture and guarantees a more separate and firm grain upon cooking.



Basmati is one of the unique specialty rice varieties, which has been cultivated for centuries at the foot of Himalayan mountain ranges. Basmati rice was a predominant constituent of the rich and royal menus.
In India, Basmati rice is primarily grown in the Indo-Gangetic region of north-western region comprising the seven states Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kathua districts of Jammu and Kashmir, and 27 districts of western Uttar Pradesh.

India is the largest cultivator and exporter of Basmati rice, followed by Pakistan. Basmati rice from the Indian subcontinent is highly prized in the international market for its unique grain, cooking and eating quality. 

The name ‘Basmati’ is likely to have originated from the Sanskrit word, bas from ‘vasay’ connoting aroma; and mati from mayup meaning ingrained from the beginning.
Common usage could have resulted in change of vas to bas resulting in Basmati.
