1509 Steam Basmati
1509 Steam Basmati Rice: Extra-Long Grain, Two Steam Profiles
Pusa 1509 is one of India’s most popular extra-long basmati varieties, valued for its slender grain and strong elongation on cooking. Ours is steamed before milling for firm, separate, non-sticky grains.
Two steam profiles
Light or Dark: choose by how your customers cook
Both profiles are steamed before milling, which firms the grain, reduces breakage and keeps cooked rice separate. The difference is the depth of steaming.
Dark Steam
1509 Steam Basmati, Dark
A deeper steaming gives a creamier tone and a firmer grain that holds its shape through long cooking and large batches.
