  1. This video is hard to take. Here we have seemingly intelligent people promoting a product that has been stripped of most of its nutrients. White rice is simply any rice (in this case Basmati) that has had its germ and bran removed. Here we have an institution. "America's Test Kitchen" that seems blind to wise advice attributed to Hippocrates,
    "Let Food by thy Medicine,
    And Medicine be thy Food."
    Are this people ignorant or just turning a blind eye to science?
    It's as if they have never heard of a medical journal that has published nutritional research. Very SAD. Sad American Diet.

  6. I stand behind Royal brand, says it's grown at the foothills of the Himalayas, but that really doesn't matter because it cooks well, and is very versatile.

    leftover rice, fried with some eggs, fresh chives, Aloha brand soyu and bacon, or if you're vegetarian like me, bacon bits, makes a great breakfast! Make sure the rice is made the night before, makes it fry up better, Challenge brand butter helps, too.

  11. You simply cannot trust this video and channel.
    Look at 0:19. They display 8 different brands, one of the world renown TILDA. And how many rice to taste on the table? Just four. They, intentionally, omitted 50% of the brands.

    0:12 "And Jack is here and is going to tell you which brand to buy"

    1:07 this frame is coming all the time. pay attention at the display. It's on the right. Why right? because the right is associated with good in our brain. and the daawat bag is in full evidence. 1:37 is also very clear about that.

    And look at the "cooks" in the background. More like paid zombies to fake cooking than anything else.

    That channel is a disguised infomercial and that video certainly paid by Daawat.

  12. A very high quality SMOKED basmatti from India is even better. Khazana 10 pound bags of lightly smoked basmati are sold on the Walmart website, shipped to your door. Never worry about insects or fumigated rice if it is smoked and the hint of smoke is tasty.

  20. Tried almost all ( Indian ) brands basmati rice. We prefer either ' Tilda ' or ' Royal' brands. ( we buy Royal cause they are available not only at Sam's Club but also at lower rate compared to Indian stores ). Best aroma, long grains and not sticky when cooked
