Sona Masuri is a lightweight and aromatic medium-grain rice, predominantly cultivated in the South Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka. It's a popular choice for daily consumption due to its soft texture and easy digestibility. Here's a breakdown of its three main forms:
Sona Masuri Raw
A staple in its natural form, Sona Masuri Raw Rice features medium-sized, white grains. When cooked, it becomes soft, light, and mildly sweet, with a delicate aroma. It's an excellent, versatile rice that pairs well with a variety of South Indian curries, and is often preferred for simple, everyday meals.
Sona Masuri Steam
Our Sona Masuri Steam Rice is a premium variety processed through a steaming method before milling. This process hardens the grains, ensuring they remain separate, firm, and fluffy when cooked. This makes it an ideal choice for dishes like biryanis, pulaos, and fried rice where you want a distinct, non-sticky grain.
Sona Masuri Parboiled
Sona Masuri Boiled Rice, often referred to as parboiled, is processed by soaking, steaming, and drying the paddy before milling. This method enriches the endosperm with nutrients from the bran, giving the rice a distinctive yellowish tint. It's highly prized for its higher nutritional value, firm texture, and resistance to breakage, making it a healthy and durable choice for a variety of dishes.
