If you really want to see good quality rice, take a look at the quality and selection of product that an expert Pakistani chef will use for a top quality biryani. Or the rice that Afghans will use when cooking a Palaw the slow way. Generally within the category of long grain basmati, but there's a lot of difference between sub-types.
- waqasx 5y agoLong grain basmati that has aged a couple of years. I dont know if you can find aged basmati in the US.
- jeffbee 5y agoSure, In the Bay Area you can get aged basmati at Vik's Market in Berkeley and various markets in Union City. I would guess any place with an Afghanistan-born enclave would have it somewhere.
- walrus01 5y agoIn the Bay area the largest concentration of Afghans is in Fremont, there's at least two specialty grocery stores that stock much the same as what you'd see in Kabul. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=afghans+fremont https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=afghans+f...
- yumraj 5y ago> Long grain basmati that has aged a couple of years. I dont know if you can find aged basmati in the US. I believe almost all Basmati rice is aged, the length of aging and of course grades of rice can vary. You can find it in any Indian grocery store since Basmati grown in India accounts for 65% of the international trade in basmati rice. At least in the Bay Area it can also be found in several/all Costco. Kirkland Basmati rice claims it is aged at least 1 year.
