Uses: Ideal for a variety of rice dishes such as biryani, pilaf, and other Indian and Pakistani cuisines where a firm, separate grain texture is desired.

Parboiled Process: Golden Sella rice is parboiled, meaning it is partially boiled in the husk. This process helps the rice retain more nutrients and makes the grains firmer and less likely to break during cooking.

Cooking Instructions:
-
Rinse: Rinse the rice several times in cold water until the water runs clear to remove any excess starch.
-
Soak: Soak the rice for 30 minutes to an hour to help the grains expand and cook evenly.
-
Cook: Use a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil, add the rice, cover, and simmer on low heat until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender (about 20-25 minutes).
Storage:
- Store the rice in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain freshness and avoid moisture.
