Super Kernel Basmati Rice

Super Kernel Basmati Rice from Pakistan

Super Kernel Basmati is the crown jewel of Pakistani rice exports. It is a premium, extra-long grain aromatic rice variety cultivated exclusively in the basmati-growing belt of Punjab, Pakistan. The variety is prized by importers and end-consumers worldwide for its exceptional grain length, rich natural aroma, delicate flavour, and superior cooking performance. When cooked, the grains elongate dramatically while staying fluffy, separate, and non-sticky, making it the preferred choice for biryani, pulao, pilaf, and premium table rice in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and North America.
