SUGANDHA STEAM RICE

Sugandha Rice is a variety of aromatic rice known for its fragrance, flavor, and slender grains. Although it is not classified as Basmati rice, it is still highly valued for its pleasant aroma and excellent cooking qualities. The term “Steam” in Sugandha Steam Rice refers to the steaming process the rice undergoes during preparation. In this process, the rice is partially cooked in its husk before milling, which enhances its aroma and gives the grains a firmer texture. This also makes the rice less sticky when cooked compared to traditional white rice. Sugandha Rice typically features long, slender grains that range from 5.8 mm to 6.2 mm or longer. Its distinctive aroma, while not as intense as Basmati rice, still adds a flavorful touch to dishes. Thanks to the steaming process, Sugandha Steam Rice has a firm texture when cooked, with the grains remaining separate and fluffy rather than clumping together. This makes it an ideal choice for dishes like biryani, pilaf, pulao, and fried rice, where individual, non-sticky grains are preferred.
