D-98 Premium Basmati with Deep Aroma

D-98 Basmati Rice, also known as Sindh Basmati, is a prized regional variety grown in the southern plains of Pakistan, particularly in Sindh. Revered for its distinctively deep aroma, slender medium-long grains, and balanced cooking performance, D-98 offers a heritage-rich alternative to mainstream basmati.

It has a naturally aged fragrance, excellent fluffiness when cooked, and a smooth finish—making it ideal for ethnic cuisines, daily home cooking, and premium retail brands targeting South Asian and Middle Eastern consumers.

D-98 is often preferred for Pulawo, fried rice, and biryani where consistency, fragrance, and affordability are all important. It strikes the perfect balance between aroma, performance, and cost-efficiency, making it a favourite among volume buyers seeking quality and value.
