Sella Basmati is a special variety of parboiled Basmati rice that undergoes a unique steaming process while the husk is still on. This process, known as "parboiling," gelatinizes the starch, causing the grains to become exceptionally firm and non-sticky when cooked. The result is a rice that is known for its incredible ability to hold its shape, making it ideal for dishes where separate, fluffy grains are essential, like biryani and pulao. It also has a slightly more yellowish or creamy color compared to traditional Basmati and is known for its enhanced nutritional value due to the parboiling process.
