Rice brand Tilda has introduced two new flavours to its Australian portfolio, with a hint of spice and fragrance. 

The new additions – Firecracker Basmati Rice and Fragrant Jasmine Rice – are ready-to-heat flavours that are gluten- and dairy-free, and vegan and vegetarian friendly.

Firecracker Basmati Rice blends chilli, ginger, Szechuan pepper, soy sauce and garlic to give it a fiery taste, while Fragrant Jasmine Rice is best suited for a Thai green coconut curry or spicy pork dish, and even can be used a base for rice pudding.

Tilda is one the UK’s top basmati brands and develops products that are free from artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

The new range is now available at Woolworths and independent supermarkets for $3.40 per pouch.
