How is Pusa White Sella Basmati Rice processed?
White Sella processing gives the most forgiving grain in a large pot: it stays long, separate and intact through hours of holding. At the mill the sequence is:
- Paddy is soaked in hot water until the grain is fully hydrated.
- Pressure steaming gelatinises the starch inside the husk, sealing the grain.
- The paddy is dried slowly in stages to avoid stress cracks.
- It is hulled and polished to a bright white surface, then graded and sortexed.
- Every lot is tested for moisture, broken percentage, colour and grain length before packing.
