Sharbati Basmati Rice

Features:
Sharbati Basmati has long, slender grains, which expand when cooked, though they are slightly shorter than traditional Basmati varieties like 1121 Basmati. It has a mild aroma, a soft texture, and a slightly sweet flavor. When cooked, the grains remain separate and fluffy, which makes it a good substitute for premium Basmati at a lower cost

Usage:
Sharbati Basmati is used in a variety of rice dishes, including biryanis, pulaos, and as an accompaniment to curries. It is also popular for everyday meals due to its balance of quality and price. It’s ideal for households that want Basmati-like characteristics without the high price tag

Popularity:
Sharbati Basmati is popular in India, especially in the northern states, and also widely exported to countries like the Middle East and Africa. It is valued for being a cost-effective alternative to premium Basmati varieties

Price:
Sharbati Basmati is more affordable than the premium Basmati varieties like 1121 or Pusa Basmati. It offers good value for money and is often used in large quantities for catering or bulk cooking

Similar Varieties:
Other varieties similar to Sharbati include Sugandha Rice and PR 14, both of which are long-grain non-aromatic rice types used as cost-effective alternatives to premium Basmati rice
