What is the key difference between Indian Basmati and Non-Basmati Rice varieties?
Indian Basmati Rice (such as 1121 and Traditional) is characterized by its Geographical Indication (GI) status distinct nutty aroma, extra-long slender grains and remarkable elongation (nearly double) upon cooking. Non-Basmati varieties (such as IR 64 and Swarna) are more diverse in grain size (short to long), typically non-aromatic, offer robust textures, and are prized for their everyday cost-effectiveness in price-sensitive markets.
Why is Shivex Sella (Parboiled) Rice preferred over Raw Rice for large-scale catering?
Our Sella processing technique involves partial boiling of the paddy, which drives natural nutrients into the grain grain and results in a firm, separate, and robust texture where grains do not stick together after cooking. This makes it ideal for institutional kitchens, hotels, and fried rice preparations where consistent texturing and long holding times are vital, whereas Raw Rice offers a softer texture.
How does Shivex ensure negligible discolored grains and impurities in bulk shipments?
We source directly from farmer networks and utilize advanced processing technology, primarily precision optical Sortex machinery. This automated system eliminates instabilities, foreign matter, stones, and discolored or damaged grains. We guarantee high purity levels (typically 99.5%+) based on APEDA, HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSAI, Phytosanitary Certificate, and Third-Party Inspection, ensuring a flawless, export-ready product that consistently meets international food safety expectations.
