Summary: Brown Basmati Rice Exists, but I don't know where you can get it.

I have a friend at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champagne, who
buys brown basmati rice somewhere in the Chicago area.  I don't know
where you can get it around the Bay Area, or for that matter, anywhere
but in Chicago.  Nevertheless, it seems that it does exist, and is
available in some places.

Basmati rice, as you probably know, has more vitamins than normal rice,
so that white basmati rice is more nutritious than white regular rice.
If we could obtain basmati rice in its unhulled form, it would probably
be even better than brown rice!

Good luck with your hunting.
