Description
Premium Pishori rice is a high-quality, aromatic long-grain rice highly prized in Kenya and considered one of East Africa’s finest rice varieties. It is often compared to Basmati for its slender grains and beautiful scent. The “premium” label refers to its exceptional aroma, flavor, and pure sourcing.
Appearance
- Uncooked: The grains are long, slender, and typically have a pearly white appearance.
- Cooked: The grains elongate further, often to twice their original length, while remaining separate and slender.
Origin
True, premium Pishori rice is synonymous with one specific region in Kenya:
- Mwea, Kirinyaga County: This rice is famously grown in the Mwea Irrigation Scheme, located on the fertile foothills of Mount Kenya. The rich volcanic soil and clear water from the mountain’s rivers are credited with giving the rice its unique flavor and aromatic profile.
