Basmati Rice
Long-grain aromatic Basmati — 1121, 1509, Pusa or traditional, in raw, steam or sella form.
Basmati is traded by variety and form, not by the word "Basmati" alone. We quote 1121, 1509, Pusa (1401) and traditional Basmati, each in raw, steam or sella (parboiled) form, because a Saudi wholesaler, a UAE retail brand and a European ethnic-food importer rarely want the same one.
Grain length, ageing, elongation and broken percentage are agreed before contract and verified at loading. Tell us the variety and form you buy, or tell us the market and price point and we will tell you which fits.
