This is Double Chabhi Basmati Rice (Chawal) , a premium, long-grain rice variety famous for its distinct aroma and superior cooking quality. The pale yellow hue suggests it is a parboiled (Sella) variety, which is steam-processed before milling to retain more nutrients, result in extra long grains upon cooking, and prevent sticking. Key Features Aromatic: Possesses the characteristic nutty, floral, and subtle sweet fragrance unique to Basmati rice. Extra Long Grain: The grains are long and slender and can double in length when cooked. Non-Sticky Texture: Cooks up into separate, fluffy grains that do not stick together, making it ideal for dishes like Biryani and Pulao. Nutrient Retention (Sella/Parboiled): Parboiling pushes nutrients from the husk into the grain, resulting in a more nutritious product with a lower glycemic index compared to white rice. Enhanced Cooking Performance: The parboiling process makes the grains harder, significantly reducing the chance of breakage during cooking.
