Sella Basmati Rice: A Premium Parboiled Rice for Global Trade Markets

Sella Basmati Rice is one of the various types that feature long grains and has gained popularity due to its pleasant aroma and fluffy texture. It is frequently used in the cuisines of India, Pakistan, the Middle East, and Persia. It has a lower glycemic index than other rice varieties, which is why this variety is preferred by people who have diabetes. The extra-long sella basmati rice is also a great source of energy because it is rich in carbs. It is made through a series of processes, including soaking, steaming, drying (when the rice is still in its husk), and finally milling. 

The word "sella" refers to the process of parboiling, which is why sella basmati rice is also called sella parboiled basmati rice. This process also solves the issue of rancidity (when the oxidised oils and fats create an unpleasant taste), a common issue with brown rice. After the process of parboiling, the outer layers of Sella rice are removed through milling, making the

Sella rice white in color, which is then known as White Sella Rice. This specific type of sella rice has a lot of health benefits, which are as follows:
