Basmati Rice

• •Basmati rice in Kenya is highly popular for making premium aromatic dishes like pilau and biryani, and is widely available through top local brands, major supermarket chains, and local irrigation schemes. While standard imported varieties originate from the Himalayan foothills, Kenya produces its own world-renowned local aromatic strain known colloquially as Pishori (Basmati 370), primarily grown in the Mwea Irrigation Scheme and recently expanding into the Ahero region.
