Tilda Sweet Chilli & Lime Basmati Rice

Tilda Sweet Chilli & Lime Basmati Rice is a popular ready-to-heat grain product designed for convenience, typically prepared in just two minutes. The brand is synonymous with high-quality Basmati rice, sourced from the Himalayan foothills and processed with rigorous quality standards. This specific flavored variety combines aromatic long-grain rice with zesty lime and a subtle chili kick, catering to the modern consumer's demand for quick, flavorful meal solutions.

Founded in London in the early 1970s, Tilda was the first company to bring Basmati rice to the Western market in large quantities. While the raw rice is sourced internationally from India and Pakistan, the steaming, seasoning, and packaging of their 'Ready-to-heat' pouches primarily take place in their facility in Rainham, Essex, UK.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned from its founding family to major multinational corporations. In 2014, it was acquired by the American company Hain Celestial, but as of late 2019, it was purchased by the Spanish food giant Ebro Foods. Under Ebro Foods' stewardship, Tilda continues to be a global leader in the premium rice category, maintaining its strong British heritage while leveraging a global distribution network.
