Your rating for Pusa Raw Basmati Rice

How is Pusa Raw Basmati Rice processed?

Raw processing gives the softest and most aromatic cook of any processing type, best when the dish is served straight away. At the mill the sequence is:

  1. Paddy is cleaned and dried to a stable milling moisture.
  2. The husk is removed in a rubber-roll sheller, leaving brown rice.
  3. The bran is polished off in stages to an even white surface.
  4. The rice is graded by length and sortex colour-sorted to remove discoloured grains.
  5. Every lot is tested for moisture, broken percentage and grain length before packing.

Raw rice

1121 Raw Basmati Rice

Raw 1121 shows the variety’s full aroma and its famous elongation — the grain more than doubles in length on cooking — so it is the first choice for premium retail packs and home cooks.

  • 8.35 mm
  • 1.0% broken

1509 Raw Basmati Rice

Raw 1509 is harvested earlier than 1121 and gives a long, slender, low-chalk grain, so it is often the sharper buy for retail packs when 1121 prices climb.

  • 8.30 mm
  • 2.0% broken

1401 Raw Basmati Rice

Raw 1401 is selected for its pronounced aroma — among the strongest of the commercial Basmati varieties — and a fluffy cook that suits premium retail and gifting packs.
