Basmati rice, like a fine wine, cannot be created artificially, it relies on nature for its very special characteristics. Pure Basmati rice is defined by
its origins (where it is grown, maturation, weather conditions and soil type) and its geno type (its genetic base and make-up).

Basmati has been grown in the foothills of the Himalayas for centuries, in
an area stretching across the Haryana and Uttar Pradesh regions of India and the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. Today the farmers still grow Pure Basmati as their ancestors did, and the methods of nurturing this precious grain continue to be passed down from generation to generation. From these carefully grown grains Tilda selects only the finest Pure
Basmati rice.
