Product Overview
1121 Steam Basmati Rice is India's most sought-after export variety, prized by international importers for its extraordinary grain length - averaging 8.3mm raw and elongating to 20mm+ upon cooking. Sourced from the fertile Haryana and Punjab basmati belts, this variety undergoes a steam parboiling process that seals in nutrients, produces a non-sticky cooked texture, and delivers the long shelf life demanded by Middle Eastern, European, and African markets. Each batch is aged for a minimum of 12 months to develop its characteristic aroma and reduce moisture to export-safe levels below 12%. Our 1121 Steam Basmati Rice meets APEDA quality parameters and passes stringent pesticide residue testing to satisfy EU and Gulf import regulations. Available in custom packaging from 5kg retail pouches to 50kg jute and PP woven bags, this product is a flagship offering for wholesale distributors, hotel chains, and food processing companies worldwide. Minimum order quantity starts from one 20-foot container (approximately 25 metric tons).
