Ideal for Importers, Wholesalers & Food Businesses
1121 Basmati is the variety most buyers ask for by name. Extra-long grains, clean aroma, and reliable cooking performance have made it the most exported Basmati rice from India. At RUDRAM Inc., we supply 1121 Basmati that delivers the same result from sample to container—grains that stay long, separate, and fragrant after cooking.
If you ask most Basmati buyers to name a variety off the top of their head, 1121 is usually what comes out. It's not the newest or the cheapest option in our range, but it's the one that built the reputation the whole category rides on — and there's a reason it's stayed there for years instead of getting replaced by something flashier.
The aroma is strong without being overpowering, and the texture stays soft but firm, holding its shape through reheating, which matters more than people realize for restaurants and caterers making food in advance.
What Makes It Different
The grain length is the first thing people notice. 1121 stretches out to 8mm and beyond after cooking, nearly double its raw length, which is longer than almost anything else in the Basmati category.
When cooked properly, the grains elongate further and stay non-sticky. The natural aroma is present but not overpowering, which is why chefs and home cooks prefer it for biryani, pulao, and everyday rice dishes that need to look and taste premium. Low breakage and consistent milling mean less wastage and better plate presentation—important details for restaurants, hotels, and retail packs.
Quality Standards You Can Trust
Every batch is inspected for grain length, purity, moisture, broken percentage, damaged or discolored grains, and foreign matter. Moisture is kept under control, broken content is minimized, and the rice is processed in hygienic, FSSAI-compliant facilities under APEDA export guidelines.
Raw
Raw is a softer texture, good for traditional preparations. It suits buyers who want full control over cooking time and texture.
Steam
Steam is the middle ground — partially processed, balanced firmness and aroma retention popular with retail packaging.
Sella
It is the toughest of the three, holding its shape well even in large-batch cooking, which is why a lot of our bulk food-service buyers default to it.
Who Actually Buys This Variety
Mostly it's buyers serving a market that already knows Basmati well — the Middle East, parts of Europe, and premium retail chains where customers are comparing grain length before they compare price. If your market is more price-sensitive, we'd probably point you toward 1509 or 1718 instead, and we'll say so honestly rather than upselling you into something that doesn't fit.
