Draft:Dehradun Basmati Rice



Dehradun Basmati or traditional basmati rice variety type 3[1] is a group of various traditional Basmati rice varieties that originated in the present day Dehradun District of Uttarakhand, India.[2] From Dehradun the variety was propagated and grown in other regions of Uttarakhand, most notably in Tapovan, Tehri. The Basmati varieties collectively known as Dehraduni Basmati are significant because of their higher grain quality, unique 'popcorn' aroma and flavour. [3]

The Dehradun Basmati has also been the source of other GMO varieties grown in present day Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana.
