While regular white rice often has a high glycemic index, studies show that basmati rice typically falls into the lower-medium range of 50-58. But is royal white basmati rice healthy overall, and what factors should consumers consider before adding it to their diet?

According to official nutrition data, Royal Basmati rice contains zero grams of sugar per serving. This may surprise many who assume all carbohydrates like rice are high in sugar, but the reality is more nuanced, requiring a look at how the body processes the rice's starchy carbohydrates.

According to Royal's official FAQ, all their basmati rice is naturally gluten-free, making it a safe choice for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, while plain rice is free from gluten, other products, including some of Royal's flavored or ready-to-eat options, may carry a risk of cross-contamination or added gluten-containing ingredients.
