Kheer Rice is a short-grain, starchy rice variety specifically suited for making kheer — the beloved South Asian rice pudding that is a fixture of celebrations, festivals, and comforting home cooking alike. Its higher starch content allows it to release a creamy, velvety texture as it simmers slowly in milk, creating the thick, luxurious consistency that defines a great kheer. Simmered with whole milk, sugar, cardamom, and garnished with slivered almonds and pistachios, kheer made with the right rice is a dessert of extraordinary comfort and elegance. In Nepali, Indian, and South Asian households across Canada, kheer remains one of the most cherished sweet preparations for any occasion. This 2 lb bag gives you plenty for multiple batches of perfection.
