PK-385 Basmati Aromatic Long Grain

PK-385 Basmati Rice is one of Pakistan’s most cherished traditional basmati varieties—known for its natural fragrance, medium-long slender grain, and authentic taste that defines classic South Asian cuisine. Cultivated in the fertile plains of Punjab, this variety is prized for its aromatic cooking profile, making it ideal for daily meals, ethnic cuisine, and retail distribution.

Unlike ultra-long basmati hybrids, PK-385 retains the original characteristics of true basmati: slightly shorter grain, superior aroma, and light texture. It is commonly used for Pulawo, Biryani, and plain boiled rice—where aroma and taste take precedence over extreme grain length.

This rice is an excellent choice for ethnic supermarkets, caterers, and foodservice operators seeking traditional basmati at a reasonable price point with consistent export-grade quality.
