Non-Basmati Rice refers to varieties of rice that do not fall under the "Basmati" category but are equally important in global markets. Unlike Basmati, which is known for its long grain and aromatic flavor, Non-Basmati rice comes in a wide range of shapes and sizes — some are short, some are long, and others are round or slender. These varieties are staple foods in many parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Non-Basmati rice is highly versatile and is used for everyday meals, as well as in dishes like biryani, risottos, sushi, and desserts. It is appreciated for its texture, ability to absorb flavors, and affordability. Popular types include Sona Masoori, IR64, and Ponni rice. India is a major producer and exporter of Non-Basmati rice, supplying to countries worldwide.
Due to its adaptability, Non-Basmati rice plays a critical role in food security, offering a reliable and nutritious food source. It is rich in carbohydrates, provides essential energy, and is often fortified with additional nutrients in some regions to combat malnutrition.
