I'm not very good at describing flavors, BUT, compared to say regular white rice, Basmati is very flavorful and has a very distinct smell. Say you had a Dorito and a plain unsalted potato chip. The Basmati would be the Dorito! :) However, I don't think you will find any Dorito flavored Basmati rice...not yet anyway... :) The other great thing about Basmati is that is has a very low glycemic effect...it does not cause a spike in glucose levels in your blood. Before I found out about my diabetes, I never thought about my blood sugar. Since being diagnosed, I have found out that EVERYONE should be concerned with their blood sugar...in fact, not worrying about it is how some non-diabetics become diabetic. Plain white rice is one of the worst things one can eat from a blood sugar point of view... Trader Joe's carries a brown Basmati rice which is very tasty! :) But, both the white and brown basmati have a low glycemic effect.
