Product Overview
This 5kg bag of premium long grain basmati rice is ideal for households, restaurants, and food businesses looking for a reliable, high-quality rice supply. Each batch is carefully selected, cleaned, and packaged to preserve its natural aroma and nutritional integrity.
Rice Origin
Our basmati rice is grown in the Punjab region of Pakistan, widely regarded as producing the world's most aromatic and flavourful basmati variety. The unique combination of alluvial soil, a warm climate, and the glacial waters of the Indus River system creates ideal growing conditions that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world. Pakistani basmati is celebrated globally for its extra-long grain, distinctive floral aroma, and superior cooking performance.
Grain Quality & Aroma
- Extra-long grain: Each grain measures over 7mm in length, elongating further upon cooking
- Naturally aged: Aged to reduce moisture content, resulting in firmer, non-sticky grains
- Distinctive aroma: A natural, floral fragrance released during cooking — a hallmark of authentic Pakistani basmati
- Non-GMO: 100% natural, free from artificial additives or preservatives
- Low starch: Grains remain separate and fluffy after cooking, never clumping
Cooking Uses
This versatile rice is perfect for a wide range of dishes:
- Biryani: The long, firm grains absorb spices beautifully without breaking, making it the ideal choice for chicken, lamb, or vegetable biryani
- Pulao / Pilaf: Cooks to a light, fluffy texture that pairs perfectly with aromatic whole spices
- Everyday meals: A nutritious, satisfying base for curries, dals, and grilled meats
- Fried rice: The low-starch, separated grains are perfect for stir-frying
- Rice salads & sides: Holds its shape and texture even when cooled
Cooking Instructions
- Rinse: Wash the rice 2–3 times in cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Soak: Soak in cold water for 20–30 minutes for best results. This helps the grains elongate fully during cooking.
- Ratio: Use 1.5 cups of water per 1 cup of rice.
- Cook: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes.
- Rest: Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Tip: Add a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of oil or ghee to the water for extra flavour and to keep grains separate.
Storage Instructions
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture
- Once opened, transfer to an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent pests
- Best consumed within 12 months of purchase when stored correctly
- Do not store near strong-smelling foods as rice can absorb odours
