Basmati Rice 50kg - 1121 Extra Long Grain

Sultana's Premium Basmati Rice 1121 Extra Long Grain 50 kg – Extra Long Basmati from Punjab

The Sultana's Premium Basmati Rice 1121 is a natural, white long-grain basmati from the fertile plains of Punjab – the region between the Himalayas and the Hindu Kush, where basmati has been cultivated for centuries. The 1121 variety is considered the variety with the strongest grain elongation of all: when cooked, each grain stretches to up to double its length, while remaining slim, stable and pleasantly grainy. Before packaging, the rice is carefully aged, as it is only through storage that the typical, unmistakable basmati aroma develops.

Why this 1121 basmati?

• Extra long grain: the 1121 variety achieves the greatest grain length of all common basmati varieties – significantly longer than classic varieties such as 370 or 386.
• Strong grain elongation: when cooked, the grain stretches to up to double its size, without breaking.
• Natural aroma: "Basmati" means "fragrant" in Hindi – the aged rice develops a warm, slightly nutty aroma when cooked.
• Fluffy and grainy: due to the low starch content, the grains remain separate and do not stick together.
• Gluten-free & vegan: 100% basmati rice, without additives, without flavourings, without colourings.

Preparation: how the rice turns out perfectly

1. Wash the rice in cold water until the water remains clear (2–3 rinses) – this removes loose starch dust.
2. Soak in cold water for 20–30 minutes. Soaking is not essential, but it significantly improves grain elongation and shortens the cooking time.
3. Drain and add 1.5 times the volume of water (1 cup rice : 1.5 cups water), season lightly with salt.
4. Bring to the boil once, then leave to swell, covered, over the lowest heat for 8–10 minutes.
5. Remove from the heat, leave covered to rest for 5 minutes and fluff up loosely with a fork – do not stir.

Rice-to-water ratio: 1 : 1.5. Rule of thumb for quantity: 60–100 g raw rice per person as a side dish, 100–125 g as a main course.

Perfect for these dishes

The 1121 basmati is the classic choice for biryani, pulao and pilaf, for Arabic dishes such as mandi, kabsa and maqluba, for Persian chelo and tahdig, as well as an aromatic side dish for curries, dal, grilled dishes and braised dishes. It is also excellent for fried rice – ideally with rice from the previous day.

Laboratory-tested purity & safety

Every batch is tested through laboratory analysis. In these 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 – we therefore consistently test for this and document the results.

Who is the 50 kg pack suitable for?

The 50 kg large pack is designed for high-volume users: restaurants with high rice throughput, caterers, canteens, snack bar chains, mosque communities and resellers. This is where you get our best price per kilo. 50 kg of raw rice yields approx. 500 portions (100 g raw rice each).
