IRRI9/C9 Parboiled Rice
Basmati rice means the "queen of fragrance or the perfumed one." This type of rice has been grown in the foothills of the Himalayas for thousands of years. Its perfumy, nut-like flavor and aroma can be attributed to the fact that the grain is aged to decrease its moisture content. Basmati, long-grained rice with a fine texture is the costliest rice in the world and has been favored by emperors and praised by poets for hundreds of years.

Features:
D98/PK385 Basmati Rice is characterized by its extra-long, slender grains that elongate further when cooked. It has a distinct floral aroma, typical of Basmati rice, and a soft, fluffy texture. The grains remain separate and non-sticky after cooking, making it ideal for dishes that require perfect presentation, such as biryanis, pulaos, and festive rice dishes. The flavor is mild and slightly nutty, adding depth to any meal

Usage:
This rice variety is commonly used in biryanis, pulaos, and various traditional South Asian dishes where the quality of the rice plays a key role in the overall flavor and texture of the meal. D98/PK385 Basmati Rice is also widely used in fine dining due to its superior cooking performance and aromatic qualities

Popularity:
D98/PK385 is highly popular in both domestic and international markets. It is often exported to countries in the Middle East, Europe, and North America, where consumers appreciate its authentic Basmati qualities. Its consistent quality and flavor have made it a staple in homes and restaurants alike

Price:
Being a premium variety, D98/PK385 is priced higher than non-Basmati rice types like IRRI6 or Sella rice, but it is still affordable compared to the most exclusive Basmati varieties like Super Kernel Basmati. Its price reflects its superior qualities in terms of aroma, grain length, and cooking performance

Similar Varieties:
Comparable varieties include Super Basmati and 1121 Basmati, both of which offer similar long-grain characteristics and aromatic qualities. However, D98/PK385 is often preferred for its delicate balance between grain length, aroma, and flavor
Comparison with Other Basmati Varieties (Super Basmati & 1121 Basmati):
- Grain Characteristics:
D98/PK385 has long, slender grains, but they are slightly shorter compared to 1121 Basmati, which is known for its exceptionally long grains. However, D98/PK385 is comparable in aroma and grain separation to Super Basmati, making it a premium choice for traditional South Asian dishes

- Cooking Quality:
D98/PK385 provides a soft, fluffy texture without being sticky, much like Super Basmati. However, 1121 Basmati may offer a slightly firmer texture due to its extra-long grains, often preferred in biryanis

- Price Comparison:
D98/PK385 is priced competitively compared to other Basmati varieties but typically falls in the mid-to-premium range, making it a more affordable option than the highest-grade Basmati, such as 1121, while still delivering a premium experience
