Steam Rice
Steam-treated milled rice — firmer cooked grain and lower breakage, popular in food service.
Steam rice is treated with steam before milling, which hardens the grain, reduces breakage and gives a firm, separate cooked texture that holds up in commercial kitchens.
Supplied in Sona Masoori and other South Indian varieties depending on the market you are serving.
- Firm, separate cooked grain
- Lower breakage in transit and cooking
- Preferred by HORECA and catering buyers
- Bulk and retail packing
Packed in export-grade material with lot coding, verified weights and supervised container stuffing. Packaging options
