Question: what is the difference between basmati rice and sona masoori rice?
Answer: Sona masoori rice is unpolished, while basmati is often polished (except brown basmati rice). This makes sona masoori a better choice when it comes to nutrients. In basmati, the nutrients are lost during the polishing process. ... This means basmati is better for those who suffer from high blood sugar levels.
