Sona Masoori rice, also known as Sona Masuri, is a white, medium-grain rice cultivated in the southern states of India, particularly in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Recognized for its premium quality, Sona Masoori Rice is lightweight and aromatic. It is advisable to rinse Sona Masoori before cooking as it tends to be a bit starchy.
Compared to Basmati rice, Sona Masoori contains lower starch, making it a healthier and easier-to-digest option.
