Basmati Sella Rice 25kg - 1121 Parboiled

Sultana's Premium Sella Basmati Rice 1121 parboiled long grain 25 kg – parboiled extra-long Basmati from the Punjab

The Sultana's Premium Sella Basmati Rice 1121 is the parboiled variant of our extra-long Basmati from the Punjab. In the traditional Sella process, the rice is steamed while still in its husk: water-soluble nutrients migrate from the bran layer into the grain's interior and are locked in there, the starch structure becomes firmer, and the grain takes on its characteristic golden shimmer. After cooking, it lightens again. The result: an extremely foolproof rice that doesn't break or become sticky even after standing for a long time, in a warming container, or when mixed with meat and sauce.

Why Sella Basmati 1121?

• Parboiled using the Sella process: the grain is firmer, doesn't break when stirred, and reliably stays separate.
• Extra-long grain of the 1121 variety: the longest common Basmati variety, with strong elongation when cooked.
• Foolproof even in large quantities: significantly more forgiving than white Basmati – the first choice in catering and food service.
• More nutrient-rich: steaming in the husk locks vitamins and minerals into the grain.
• Gluten-free & vegan: 100% Sella Basmati rice, with no additives, no flavourings, no colourings.

Preparation: how the rice turns out perfectly

1. Briefly rinse the rice in cold water (1–2 rinses) – Sella rice needs fewer rinses than white Basmati.
2. Soak in cold water for 15–20 minutes.
3. Drain and cook with double the volume of water (1 cup rice : 2 cups water), season lightly with salt.
4. Bring to the boil once, then cook covered over low heat for 12–15 minutes.
5. Let stand covered for 5 minutes and fluff up with a fork. For biryani, cook the rice to only 70% and finish steaming it in the pot (dum).

Rice-to-water ratio: 1 : 2. Rule of thumb for quantity: 60–100 g raw rice per person as a side dish, 100–125 g as a main dish.

Perfect for these dishes

Sella Basmati is the standard in professional kitchens: Biryani and Dum Biryani, Pulao, Mandi, Kabsa, Maqluba, Bukhari, and all dishes where the rice is layered, turned, or kept warm for longer. It's also ideal for buffets, meal prep, and fried rice, as the grains stay separate even after hours.

Lab-tested purity & safety

Every batch is tested through laboratory analysis. In the tests, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury were not detectable (detection limit 0.02 mg/kg, in-house method based on AOAC 2015.01). Pesticide residues were also not detectable (detection limit 0.01 mg/kg). This is particularly relevant for rice, as the plant can absorb heavy metals from the cultivation soil – which is why we consistently test and document the results.

Who is the 25 kg pack suitable for?

The 25 kg pack is the classic catering format: restaurants, caterers, food trucks, canteens and catering kitchens can calculate particularly favourably with it. It's also a popular size for large families and joint orders from several households. 25 kg of raw rice yields approx. 250 portions (at 100 g raw rice).
