Pusa Basmati Rice

Pusa Basmati is a premium variety of basmati rice developed by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI). Known for its long grains, rich aroma, and excellent cooking quality, Pusa Basmati expands significantly after cooking while remaining soft and non-sticky. It matures faster than traditional basmati varieties, making it a preferred choice among farmers due to lower water usage and higher yield. Popular types include Pusa Basmati 1121, Pusa Basmati 1509, Pusa Basmati 1, and Pusa Basmati 1401. This variety is widely used for biryani, pulao, and premium rice products.
