What is aromatic rice

Generally, scented or aromatic rice consists of medium to long grains. Its texture is fluffy and when cooked, it releases a nutty taste.

The notion of ‘flavoring’ rice originated in Asia and gradually made its way to the United States and Europe. One of the more popular aromatic rice varieties is Basmati.    

Qualities

The scent of aromatic rice can be traced back to the presence of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline. Apart from this chemical compound other organic compounds, as well as oils and phenolics, are likely to be involved.
