Your rating for Parmal White Sella Rice

How is Parmal White Sella 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:

  1. Paddy is soaked in hot water until the grain is fully hydrated.
  2. Pressure steaming gelatinises the starch inside the husk, sealing the grain.
  3. The paddy is dried slowly in stages to avoid stress cracks.
  4. It is hulled and polished to a bright white surface, then graded and sortexed.
  5. Every lot is tested for moisture, broken percentage, colour and grain length before packing.

Parmal White Sella Rice: common questions
