1121 Sella Rice

Q1: What is the difference between 1121 Sella Rice and regular 1121 Basmati?

A1: 1121 Sella Rice undergoes parboiling (steam pressure treatment) before milling, giving it a distinctive golden color, firmer texture, and enhanced nutritional value. It resists overcooking better than regular basmati, maintains grain separation even when reheated, and has a longer shelf life (18-24 months), making it ideal for bulk catering and commercial kitchens.

Q2: Why is 1121 Sella Rice golden in color?

A2: The golden color from parboiled rice is imparted during the process of soaking, steaming under pressure, and drying before milling. This spurs nutrients from the bran to the center, giving it a lovely golden hue. The color indicates proper parboiling and retention of superior quality.

Q3: How should I store 1121 Sella Rice for maximum freshness?

A3: Cool and dry, sealed storage, moisture-proof, stay away from direct sunlight, avoid strong smells. Sella rice has a good shelf life of eighteen to twenty-four months if stored properly. The parboiling process makes the rice easier to process by hand, improves its nutritional value, changes its texture, and makes it more resistant to weevils.
