Basmati rice has a long history, dating back hundreds of years. It is believed to have originated in the Himalayan region and was brought to India by traders and missionaries. Basmati rice is now one of the most popular types of rice in India and Pakistan.

Ancient grains refer to grains and pseudocereals that have been minimally changed by selective breeding over recent millennia. We source all of our grains from countries that have a total ban on all GMO's, herbicides and pesticides, such as Turkey & Kyrgyzstan. Only 22 countries out of almost 200 around the world have a total ban on GMO food. An article published by the Scientific American also proves that almost ALL "Organic" food in the US is poisoned with chemicals and we must source real organic food from outside of the US. There are over 20 chemicals commonly used in the growing and processing of organic crops that are approved by the US Organic Standards. We are pleased and honored to be offering these ancient grains from these total ban GMO countries with no GMO, chemicals or pesticides, you will taste the difference.
