Description
Shahzada Extra Long Basmati Sella Rice, 10 Lb — Premium Parboiled Rice with Exceptional Grain Length
Product Features
Sella, or parboiled, basmati rice undergoes a steaming process before milling that helps the grains hold their shape and become especially firm, and this extra long variety from Shahzada offers an even more elongated grain than standard basmati sella. This 10 Lb bag is available through SubziCart.com for South Asian households in the USA who want a premium, extra-long grain rice for special dishes and everyday meals alike.
Nutritional Information
Because sella rice is parboiled, it retains more of its natural nutrients compared to raw milled rice, since the process pushes some nutrients from the bran into the grain itself before milling. It remains primarily a source of carbohydrates for energy, along with a modest amount of protein. It is naturally free of fat and cholesterol.
Cooking Suggestions
Sella rice generally requires a slightly different water ratio and cooking time compared to raw basmati; rinsing before cooking and using a water ratio of about 2 cups per cup of rice tends to give good results, with the grains staying notably firm and separate. This extra long variety is particularly well suited for biryani and pulao, where its exceptional grain length and firm texture create an especially impressive presentation.
Good to Know
