Shop products for Texmati Rice 
This American rice has a light, fluffy texture when cooked.
This aromatic rice is a cross between American long-grain rice and Indian basmati rice. As its name implies, it’s grown primarily in Texas. It has a more distinctive aroma and flavour than American long-grain rice, but less than basmati rice, and has a light, fluffy texture when cooked.
Varieties
Texmati rice is available in white and brown (unprocessed) forms. White rice sets off food flavours more distinctly, while brown rice has a higher fibre content and takes longer to cook.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Rinse 1 cup of rice and drain well. In a heavy saucepan with a lid, combine rice with 2 cups (500mL) of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer, covered, until tender (about 30 minutes for medium- to long-grain white rice, 40 minutes for brown rice, 20 minutes for arborio or short-grain rice, and 1 hour for wild rice).
Cook in stock instead of water, and add finely chopped fresh herbs and minced garlic, or cooked black beans, red pepper, and diced cilantro.
To reheat cooked rice, for each 1 cup (200g) of rice, add 2 Tbsp (30mL) liquid. Cover and heat 4 to 5 minutes on top of range or in oven. In a microwave oven, cook on High about 1 1/2 minutes per cup (200g).
