M. SchnittkerM. Schnittker: My first bag had a very strong smell and taste of a musty-dirty-moldy burlap sack. The smell was so strong that it probably should have been discarded, but I salvaged the bag by soaking the rice in hot water to dissolve the outside layers before cooking.
Since then, I chose to risk a second purchase and found that in fact the rice normally has a nice taste. My first bag was spoiled and I should have returned it, but at that time, I thought the terrible taste was a result of the normal aging process. I have updated this review based on that new finding.

I am not a diabetic, but I am interested in low glycemic index foods because I believe it is better for the body.

This rice is off white, which I have read is typical of the parboiling process which is commonly used to help lower glycemic index and lock in more nutrients. See picture for comparison of this parboiled rice to other Basmati rice.
I cooked it with some avocado oil in my Instant pot using the 12min pressure cook pre-set for parboiled rice. Rice came out fluffy and tender. Great texture overall. Grains are very long at about 18mm after cooking (see pic).

I could not find the glycemic index...
