1509 Basmati Rice
1509 Basmati rice is a premium variety of Basmati rice known for its extra-long grains, pleasant aroma, and excellent cooking qualities. It is primarily cultivated in the northern states of India, especially Punjab, Haryana, and parts of Uttar Pradesh. This variety is a hybrid developed to combine the traditional aroma of Basmati with early maturity and higher yield.
The grains of 1509 Basmati rice are slender and elongate significantly when cooked, becoming soft and non-sticky. It is widely used for preparing biryani, pulao, and other special rice dishes due to its visual appeal and rich flavor.
Compared to traditional Basmati varieties like 1121, 1509 has a shorter growing period, which helps farmers save on water and input costs. It is also more disease-resistant and offers good returns due to high export demand. 1509 Basmati is highly popular in both domestic and international markets, especially in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
