I like basmati rice from India. It smells — no joke! — just like popcorn.

And it tastes really nice too... The only bad thing is that it’s $1 a pound in 20# sacks...

The only rice that costs more is the “sticky” rice for deserts..

COSTCO sells it 15 lb. bags. Good stuff!

I’ve grown corn (hasn’t everyone?) but rice looks like it would be an interesting challenge.
